The boy succeeds in his task and returns with the wineskin. The boy is to hold a wineskin against the wind with the ring in front of it, and then tie up the bag when it is full. Solomon's final demon encounter involves sending a servant boy with his ring to take captive a wind demon who is harassing the land of Arabia. For example, the thirty-third demon is Rhyx Achoneoth who causes sore throat and tonsilitis and can be driven off by writing the word Leikourgos on ivy leaves and heaping them into a pile. The decan demons claim responsibility mostly for various ailments and pains, and they provide the magical formulae by which they may be banished. In chapter 18, the demons of the 36 decans appear, with names that sometimes seem to be conscious distortions of the traditional names for the decans. Beelzebul reveals that he was formerly the highest ranking angel in Heaven. With Beelzebul under his command, Solomon now has all of the demons at his bidding to build the temple. Then Solomon orders the demon Ornias to take the ring and similarly imprint the prince of demons, Beelzebul. Solomon lends the ring to the lad who, by throwing the ring at the demon Ornias, stamps him with the seal and brings him under control. When a demon named Ornias harasses a young man (who is favored by Solomon) by stealing half of his pay and sucking out his vitality through the thumb on his right hand, Solomon prays in the temple and receives from the archangel Michael a magic ring with the seal of God (in the shape of a pentagram) on it which will enable him to command the demons. The text was originally written in Greek and contains numerous theological and magical themes ranging from Christianity and Judaism to Greek mythology and astrology that possibly hint at a Christian writer with a Greek background. Because of the text's various forms, produced over centuries by distinct scribes, the author or authors of the text remain unknown. However, scholars both before (e.g., Istrin) and after (e.g., Schwarz) proposed other solutions based upon the varied manuscript evidence. Mid-twentieth century scholarship tended to agree that much of its content "reflects the first-century Judaism in Israel" and includes material much earlier than its composition. Also disputed is whether it had a Christian or Jewish origin. Despite the text's claim to have been a first-hand account of King Solomon's construction of the Temple of Jerusalem, suggested dates for its composition range between the end of the 1st century AD and the High Middle Ages. Scholarly opinion on when the Testament of Solomon was written varies widely. In its most noteworthy recensions, the text describes how Solomon was enabled to build his temple by commanding demons by means of a magical ring that was entrusted to him by the archangel Michael. It was written in the Greek language, based on precedents dating back to the early 1st millennium CE, but was likely not completed in any meaningful textual sense until sometime in the Middle Ages. The Testament of Solomon is a pseudepigraphical composite text ascribed to King Solomon but not regarded as canonical scripture by Jews or Christian groups. Pseudepigraphical work ascribed to Solomon
