(sorry for not including the conversation, but this from my Android phone.) OK, a slur it must be.
But, although the notation a8( a8) may be uncommon nowadays, it is quite common in baroque music. Most recently, I met it in BWV 146 mvt 2, all over the place. It also occurs elsewhere with 3 or 4 notes. My baroque violin player friend says: "oh yes, that is bow vibrato." Not vibrato in the modern sense, but 2 (3, 4) notes under one bowing.
