that is, the quarter [of the month]. Write below the name of the judge, and the
name of the king [n. the jinn] that rules on that day and the the name of the
king that rules on that star and the Master of the Light if it is day. And now
I will write to you the seven kings that rule on the seven stars and every
name of these seven of the kings there are under them many servants. And this
is there order Shaythach Legechag Yadameshechegagiyniytha Yalturesh

Notes of the translator:
-Ruqyail: In the margin not from Vital's handwriting it says "scribal
mistake, its really Refael."
-Burqan: but
the punctuation in Hebrew reads Berqan.
-Fachar: the
“ch” here is not a ח, it is the tʃ
sound which is foreign to Hebrew. E.g. chew, chip, chest, the same with Tziyachashechal. We opted for noting this sound with a CH, while CH will note the Chet sound, throughout the text.
Notes of the editor:
Changes have been made to the original transcription to make the text more fluent, it was edited to ease reading and certain notes that were in my opinion superfluous were omitted.
I have kept Rabbi Cohen reading of the names and I shall present my own version of reading the names below.
The text is a summary of about four treatises of Arabic origin, detailing astral planetary magic.
Below is a synthetic table using the original Hebrew and my transcriptions:
