The sentence you are solving goes here.
The triumph of my enemy increased with the difficulty of my labours. One inscription that he left was in these words: "Prepare! Your toils only begin; wrap yourself in furs and provide food, for we shall soon enter upon a journey where your sufferings will satisfy my everlasting hatred."
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the hard one from chapter 24.
