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?
