GIST
The heavenly nymphs who regulate and administer the art of playing and gambling with dice, may please make it intoxicating, along with the sacrificial oblations. The nymphs fill the Earth, Sky, Space and the Sun with toxicity. Let the nymphs make all our hands applied with sacrificial clarified butter. Let the nymphs make all my rivals in dice, surrender before me.
