The pentacles of Book I ch. XVIII, the planetary hours and virtues of ch. IV, the operating conditions of ch. VIII, and the blank-name instruction of Book II ch. XXI.

The Latin letter table of Book II ch. xx and the seven planetary kameas of ch. xxii - the letter values and magic squares every traced sigil walks.
The 36 spirits read as a symptom catalogue is the best story in this corpus, and it is missing. Conybeare's English translation is not reachable as public-domain full text; the alternative is McCown's 1922 Greek edition.

In the Key, a figure carrying a divine Name, angel names and a scripture versicle. Not a five-pointed star by definition, and not a magic square.
The short scripture line ringing a pentacle. The Key names chapter and verse for each, which is why it can be checked.
The planets ranked by apparent speed - Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. Walking it hour by hour is what produces the names of the weekdays.

The offset between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs, about 24 degrees today. The Lahiri value is the one Indian astronomy standardised on.
One of the twenty-seven lunar mansions of Indian astronomy. Your Moon falls in exactly one, and which one is arithmetic.
