Translation: "Such a black-hearted rock of Styx and the blood-dripping cliff of Acheron are guarding you; and the running dogs of Cocytus and the hundred-headed viper, which will rend your inward parts; and the Tartesian sea-eel will take hold of your lungs, but your bloodied kidneys with the very bowels the Tithrasian Gorgons will tear out, on whom I will set my running foot."[1]

Notes:
Effectively a gloss on the passage quoted, the headword phrase -- lacking in some mss here -- is cross-referenced at
alpha 3813 (but without 'enemies' there).
