"Again, beware the author as well here.  Caveat
scriptor or caveat auctor?  Clergy and/or classicists,
help!"

My Latin's gotten pretty rusty, but that would translate to "let the
writer/author beware" appropriate for Pynchonesque paranoia, but I think
what you're looking for is something along the lines of "caves auctor".
Something like that, at least. I don't have my old, trusty copy of
Wheelock's Latin handy.
