  1. (post-classical) twelve-year-old
    • c. 363 CE – c. 425 CE, Sulpicius Severus, Dialogues IX:
      Haec illorum prima virtus est, parere alieno imperio. Transgressis ad eremum, abbatis illius ordinatione panis vel quilibet cibus alius ministratur. Casu per illos dies quibus illo adveneram, cuidam qui nuper ad eremum secesserat, neque amplius ab hoc monasterio quam sex millibus tabernaculum sibi constituerat, panem abbas per duos pueros miserat, quorum major habebat aetatis annos quindecim, minor duodecennis erat.
