In commenting upon this Rite Coil says " As in other extended rites, the names in the Rite of Mizraim changed frequently, sometimes by official action and sometimes by custom or usage. The 6th degree, Master through Curiosity, was also called Intimate Secretary; 7th, Provost and Judge or Irish Master, was also called Master in Israel; 10th, Elect of the Unknown, was also Elect of Perignan; 16th and 18th bear names identical in meaning as do 48th and 53rd; in 19th, the J. J. J. refers to Jourdain, Jaho, and Jochim, the meaning of which is unknown; 35th, Prussian Knight, was also called Knight of the Tower; 46th was also Knight Rose Croix; 52nd, Supreme Commander of the Stars, was also Sovereign Commander; the 'Washer,' 'Bellows-blower' and 'Caster' in the 55th-57th had alchemical allusions, the last of the three words meaning moulder or founder; 64th, Grand Knight of the White and Black Eagle, was also Grand Knight of the White Eagle; 65th, Grand Elect Knight Kadosh, was also Sovereign Grand Inspector; in the 69th, Chanuke, Banucka and Hanucka all seem intended for Hanucka, which Ragon states was the Hebrew Feast of Lights; the degrees from 78th to 86th, inclusive, are said by some to be concealed from all, except those who have received them, but others deny that and point to the names given above, which, upon examination, reveal nothing but repetition of a formula, with nothing to indicate the distinction among them or any character of any of them, so that they may have had other esoteric names. There is the distinct possibility that, as in the instance of the Rite of Memphis, some of the top degrees were never completed." ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
