    The document discusses a line from Propertius that was corrupted in medieval manuscripts. Specifically, the line originally read "Ida deam pastorem amasse" but over time "dea" was accidentally omitted. This led to an incorrect reading that the goddess loved a shepherd. The document analyzes this error and similar repetitions in Propertius' elegies where words or lines are accidentally omitted or repeated.

    quamuisIda tParimt pastoremdicat amasse


    atqueinterpecudes accubuissedeam.
    Read Ida deam pastorem. That is, deam, or rather,dea had been
    omitted by haplographyin the medieval archetypeand Parim, a gloss
    on pastorem, insertedin the line to repairthe meter.' Bad enough that a
    goddess loved a shepherd,worse yet that a goddess lay with him among
    the flocks. A similar repetitionoccurs in this elegy, 53-54 at cum Deucalionis aquae fluxere per orbem/ et post antiquas Deucalionis aquas,
    and in 4.4.33-34 o utinam ad uestros sedeam captiua Penates, / dum
    captiua mei conspicer ora Tati. Cf. also 4.7.87-88, 11.39-40.
