I've been attempting to find the rules to VR Parton's Sphinx Chess, but
am unable to locate anything other than the Java applet that plays it,
from which I can guess rules, but that's a less than satisfactory method.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could share the rules. Thanks.

You can find the rules for Sphinx Chess at this site on the V.R. Parton
page. It is in the paper entitled 'Chessical Cubism or Chess in Space'.

It is headed as 'Sphinxian: Chess'.

Thank you, Larry. [I see it's right before Ecila.]

I worked up a Zillions implementation of Ecila several years ago. But
unfortunately the graphics were rather poor, so I abandoned it. I've
still got the code somewhere. I'll probably dig it out and try again.
