5498. Their hell is near that hell where the most malicious are, that is, nearer to the north. In the hells of the assassins and the poisoners, they look like tigers, like panthers, and lower down like dragons and poisonous snakes, because they charm before they pour in poison.
5498. The hell of these is not that hell where the most wicked 1ones are; but this one is nearer to the north. In the hell of assassins and poisoners, appear as it were tigers, panthers, and, lower down, as it were dragons and vipers; because they fawn upon [their prey] before infusing their poison.

5498. Infernum eorum est prope id infernum ubi malitiosissimi, hoc est propius ad septentrionem: in infernis sicariorum et veneficorum apparent sicut tigrides, pantherae, et inferius sicut dracones et serpentes viperae, quia adblandiuntur antequam infundant venenum.
