   • 27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita 41.6.11.3, (dubious; some editions prefer to print "alii cuiquam" here^[1][2]):

     Motus his senatus litteras Lyciis ad Rhodios dedit, nec Lycios Rhodiis nec ullos alicuiquam, qui nati liberi sint, in servitutem dari placere; Lycios ita sub Rhodiorum simul imperio et tutela esse, ut in dicione populi Romani civitates sociae sint.

• The usual negative polarity indefinite pronoun was quisquam, whereas aliquis was usually used as a non-negative-polarity indefinite pronoun; the combination of the prefix ali- and the suffix -quam was rare, and some editors think it is doubtful that this word was ever genuinely used in Classical Latin. It remains extremely rare in Latin of all time periods, despite appearing in some dictionaries.

Negative polarity indefinite pronoun.

¹In Republican Latin or earlier, alternative spellings could be found for the following forms of quī/quis and its compounds: the masculine nominative singular or plural quī (old spelling quei), the genitive singular cuius (old spelling quoius), the dative singular cui (old spelling quoi or quoiei), the dative/ablative plural quīs (old spelling queis).
