The decan numbers and letters shown here are for the decan family AR1.
SP = superior planet
Grey shading = damage
[ ] = damaged text
The number of star symbols accompanying the decans is also omitted here, as it is often impossible to tell to which decan the symbols refer. EAT3 deals with star symbols in some detail.
