Indeed, 2000 lines. My error before breakfast and coffee. And yes, “wincing” is the appropriate response to the phrase “mere editor.” Ask Jerry McGann

    I think you mean "less than 2000 lines"; the Agamemnon is a bit longer 
    than 2,000 words. And yes, I also was thinking of what "editor" means in 
    classics and winced when I read the words "mere editor."
