     Nolo referre quae dici ab ipsis moleste tuli. Quo magis quosdam e numero nostro improbavi, qui modo ad Celsum modo ad Nepotem, prout hic vel ille diceret, cupiditate audiendi cursitabant, et nunc quasi stimularent et accenderent, nunc quasi reconciliarent ac recomponerent, frequentius singulis, ambobus interdum propitium Caesarem ut in ludicro aliquo precabantur.

   • 11th century CE, Miracula sancti Gengulfi:

   Near-synonym: repōnō

   • c. 360 CE – 400 CE, Vegetius, Digesta Artis Mulomedicinae II.De fractura articuli cruris vel coxae.1-2:

     Impulsu axium vel rotarum in circo vel in aliis locis varietate casuum animalibus crura franguntur aut coxae vel articuli. In qua necessitate si extra cutem fractura ossis eruperit, hoc est si † exbersen fecerit, difficilem noveris et prope insanabilem curam. Similis desperatio est, si coxam fregerit aut acrocola aut supragambam; insanabilis est casus, quia non recipit ligaturam. Si vero fractura sit sine vulnere in his locis, quae constringi possunt, hac ratione curabis. Primo fracturam recompones et fasciis mundis scissilibus infusis ex vino et oleo conligabis: insuper lanarum munimenta coniunges et regulas circumduces. […]
