Cimejes

Cimejes, also written Cimeies or Kimaris, is the sixty-sixth spirit in the Ars Goetia. He is a marquis with twenty legions and appears as a soldier riding a black horse. His offices include grammar, rhetoric, logic, and finding hidden or lost things.^[1][2]

The arts of language#

Grammar, rhetoric, and logic form a recognizable grouping of learned subjects. The catalogue assigns them to a martial figure rather than giving the teaching office an unarmed scholar's appearance. That combination resembles Furcas's armed rider, though their subject lists and titles differ.^[2]

Cimejes also makes a person resemble a soldier of his own kind. The office connects the operator with the spirit's visual form. The entry supplies no separate military campaign or biography for that transformed figure.

Africa in the description#

The catalogue says that Cimejes rules spirits in parts of Africa. This is a claim made by the European grimoire. It does not document an African religious tradition or establish that communities across a continent recognized his authority.^[1]

The wide range of spellings makes the numbered position, horse, learning office, and seal useful identifiers. A modern list may prefer Kimaris while a manuscript prints Cimeies. Those differences are part of transmission, and should be considered before a new religious identity is inferred from spelling alone.
