Sacred Order of Sophisians

In the center, a stone forming a seat; above it, a large, long, sharp, and cutting sword, supported by a hair hanging from a lion's maw fixed to the vault.

At the entrance door on the outside, a large pyramid represented in wood and mechanical parts when touched by the recipient; it opens, and one reads upon it these words in letters of fire:

Enter if you dare.

An iron barrier locking with bolts, on the outside, further away than the pyramid by at least 6, 8, or 10 feet.

In the detours of the cavern before arriving at the barrier, a recess without a door, forming a retreat cabinet: there, a stone for a seat; no light.

The five Isiarques at the back (they are recognized by initiates by their hieroglyphs suspended from their necks by iron chains).

The Hermorus guardian of the entrance at the head of the Mystophores bearers of the mysteries who guard the door in arms both inside and outside.

The Harpocrate officer of silence and the Nomarque officer of the law isolated at the bottom of the tribunal.

The recipient seated under the threatening sword.

All the assistants in two lines formed from the tribunal to the entrance door.
