As the 1904 edition has it
The Forty-sixth Spirit is called Bifrons, or Bifrous, or Bifrovs. He is an Earl, and appeareth in the form of a Monster; but after a while, at the Command of the Exorcist, he putteth on the shape of a Man. His Office is to make one knowing in Astrology, Geometry, and other Arts and Sciences. He teacheth the Virtues of Precious Stones and Woods. He changeth Dead Bodies, and putteth them in another place; also he lighteth seeming candles upon the Graves of the Dead. He hath under his Command 6 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, which he will own and submit unto, etc.
Where this comes from

Seal and description from the 1904 edition, which prints the Lemegeton manuscript tradition (British Library Sloane MS 3825 and related).

The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King, ed. S. L. MacGregor Mathers, pub. Aleister Crowley, 1904. The text and the seals are in the public domain.

The 1904 text prints 6, and its editor footnotes that it "should probably be 60 instead of 6," adding that Wier has 26.
