are assistants of proctors (q.v.). Prorowit, a Slavic deity, was represented with four heads on a common trunk. He carried a fifth head on his chest, and held it in such a way that his eyes could see through the intervals of the fingers. Many explanations of this extraordinary figure have been proposed, but none that is at all concordant with the spirit of the Slavic religions: all these surmises are based on the similitude of the image with that of Janus Quadrifrons.
