Scylla and Charybdis

Walter of Châtillon, Alexandreis 5.301 (ed. Marvin L. Colker, p. 133; my translation):
Wanting to avoid Charybdis, you fall into Scylla.

Incidis in Scillam cupiens uitare Caribdim.
See Renzo Tosi, Dictionnaire des sentences latines et grecques, tr. Rebecca Lenoir (Grenoble: Jérôme Millon, 2010), pp. 520-522 (#668).
