Oh, I missed that- good catch.
I was reading the blogpost linked by OP criticising the coverage of the paper (https://rogueclassicism.com/2016/05/16/problems-with-the-sci...) and it has an image of the poem as it's cited in the paper. Indeed, it says "δέδυκε" and "παρά δ' ἔρχετ‘ ὤρα".
I suspect someone tried to copy the poem from the original paper and left behind a few characters, because LaTex. Or in any case some kind of transcription error occurred and nobody noticed because, well, ancient Greek.
