Dear collegae, 
reading the hexametra of Bucolica 4 I have some "fastidia longa", for I search 
solution of the problem: how to read verse 61; (I write it here in the context 
of verse 60): 

incipe parve puer risu cognoscere matrem:
matri longa decem tulerunt fastidia menses

it seems to be: 
m�tri l�nga dec�m tul?r�nt fast�dia m�nses

but I don't know any rule, that allows a short paenultima in the 3.person 
plural 
perfect. 

Does anyone know wether somewhere else another verse can be found with such a 
short syllabe in the 3.plural-perfect-form? 

I thank you
