ps.-
Nonnus,
Scholia mythologica 5.32.
This version is also in
Apollodorus 1.23; other versions name different killers; and
Homer,
Odyssey 11.576-581 describes him as flattened, spreadeagled, and under never-ending attack (likewise in the liver) from a pair of vultures. See generally OCD(4) s.v. Tityus (and
lambda 477 for Leto).
[1] Adler reports that mss GM, more plausibly, have "they say".
