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.
