# Syntax error but where?

 * I keep getting this error message when I try to go to the editor in the WP Dashboard:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/m/a/n/manymutts/html/
   wp-content/themes/Manymutts/functions.php on line 612
 * Even after deleting the functions.php page and reinstalling the original via 
   FTP, with no changes, I am still stuck with this error. There is no error on 
   the page, I am using it on two other sites and it was fine on this site before
   I tried adding a new field.
 * Any help is greatly appreciated because, basically, at this point I can not edit
   any of the theme files.
