For the sake of readability, I have not included the letters that Dee originally put in, but then marked as invalid by drawing a line diagonally across them.
The red letters mark the location of the reversed letters, used to form PARAOAN.
The numbering of the tables are taken from ms Sloane 3191 folios 56v and 57r, which differ from the order the were received in the ms Cotton appendix i, folios 199r, 200r and 201r, where the order is listed as:
- oroibAhaozpi
- MOrdialhCtGa
- oiPteaapDoce
- mpharslgaiol
The titles of the hierarchy of each watchtower are taken from the ms Sloane 3191 folio 189v, with the exception of elders that has been chosen since the title senior have a broader definition in our modern society, and the title elder are closer to the original intent. This is also supported by Dee’s use of the Latin word senior

Structure #
As with all of the watchtowers, this one contain the same structure as the others, consisting of:
- Linea spiritus sancti - the central line.
- Linea patre & filio - the sixth and seventh column.
- The central cross - made up from the linea spiritus sancti and linea patre & filio.
- The four quadrants - made up from the parts separated by the central cross.
These parts contain the following hierarchy:
- 1 trumpeter
- 3 ensign bearers, bearing the names of God
- 6 elders
- 1 king
- 5 princes
- 5 crosses
- 16 dispositors.
This, however is far from the whole truth, as Dee himself noted with the comment:
I do know assuredly that there is very much matter in this table.
