"Asmodeus," said Enan, "the great prince who, on his wing, bore Solomon
from his kingdom to a distant strand." "Woe is me," I moaned, "I thought
thee a friend; now thou art a fiend. Why didst thou hide thy nature? Why
didst thou conceal thy descent? Why hast thou taken me from my home in
guile?" "Nay," said Enan, "where was thy understanding? I gave thee my
name, thou shouldst have inverted it" [i.e., transpose _Desh_ to _Shed_.
Enan at the beginning of the tale had announced himself as _ha-Desh_, he
now explains that meant _ha-Shed_ = the demon]. Then Enan gives his
pedigree: "I am Enan, the Satan, son of Arnan the Demon, son of the Place
of Death, son of Rage, son of Death's Shadow, son of Terror, son of
Trembling, son of Destruction, son of Extinction, son of Evil-name, son
of Mocking, son of Plague, son of Deceit, son of Injury, son of
Asmodeus."
Nevertheless Enan quiets Joseph's fears, and promises that no harm shall
befall him. He goes through Enan's city, sees wizards and sorcerers, and
sinners and fools, all giants.
