[SOLVED] Error message expecting T string

I am posting my error message here in hope to get some help and resolve the problem. I am getting the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/50/8490750/html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions.php on line 10

These are the events leading up to the error. Everything was working just fine before.

I have the current version of the Atahualpa theme installed. I commented out one line of code in the functions.php and saved. Then I started getting the error above. The line I commented out was line 711. I then realized this was not going to work so I un-commented and saved but I am still getting the error message above. I think the save took, not sure.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
