Translation: The Erinyes [Furies]. This [sc. way of referring to them] is legendary. It is necessary to consider them incorruptible and [that they] never stained their powers with bribes from wrong-doers.
Sophocles [writes]: "I invoke as helpmates the eternal virgins, august far-striding Erinyes."[1]
