I studied this issue several years ago.  The thing to keep in mind is 
that it is not a "textual issue". It is a translation/interpretation 
issue.  It does seem important in consideration of the much-debated 
autobiographical status of this section.  I happen to think that a 
first-singular was intended, partially in consideration of the 
MEN...DE structure you point out.
