ricardienne | What gets preserved

So I bought a cheap OCT of Catullus, on the grounds that I should probably have a real text of it; I have a 1980 printing, used, that originally belonged to Kami Lanette, who annotated really a lot in pencil; a really surprising amount, because most of it is vocabulary that someone who is taking a class that requires the OCT instead of an elementary textbook version shouldn't need to look up.

But anyway, I've been erasing as I read, but Kami annotated one line in the whole text with blue pen. What is indelibly and painstakingly translated in my text, you wonder? pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo. Unsure whether this is a giant 'pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo' to the tradition of classical education that preferred to translate both verbs as "commit indecent acts" or to omit the line altogether. I think I shall prefer to think that it is!
