3. Thrones - stand before the heavenly throne: four faces (lion, ox, eagle, and man) and four wings, and horses' hooves, many eyes
4. Dominations (dominions) - regulate the duties of other angels and manifest the glory of God, carry scepters or orbs
5. Virtues - angels perform miracles on earth and are the chief bestowers of grace and valor
