    • [AD 98–138, Velius Longus, T.H.G. Keil, editor, Liber de orthographia (Grammatici Latini; VII)‎, published 1880, lines 4–6, page 79:
      sic et dossum per duo s quam per r dorsum quidam ut lenius enuntiaverunt. ac tota r littera sublata est in eo quod est rusum et retrosum.
      And in this way, some [say] "dossum" with two s's instead of "dorsum" with an r to sound gentler. But to all, r is a sunk letter in "rusum" and "retrosum".]
