Did any prophecy hint at Turin's triumph over Ancalagon?

In the article on this site, it is written that Turin killed Ancalagon in the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth chapter of the book Morgoth's Ring. Is this really true? I looked at the PDF of the book a lot and did not see such a prophecy and mention. If it is true, on which page of the book is it located?
 
The actual prophecy from Andreth rather appears in a note to a rejected text (Tolkien wrote "most of this fails" on it) titled The Problem Of Ros, published in The Peoples of Middle-Earth.

Someone seems to have confused the texts, due to the name Andreth, I'm guessing.
Oh thank you. I have been waiting for you for a long time to see when you will come to this topic. Because you are one of the members who can best answer most questions about books on this site.
