    • 21 BCE, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Epistularum liber primus (First Book of Letters): 15:
      ...sānē murtēta relinquī dictaque cessantem nervīs ēlīdere morbum sulfura contemnī vīcus gemit, invidus aegrīs, quī caput et stomachum suppōnere fontibus audent Clūsīnīs Gabiōsque petunt et frīgida rūra.
      Of course the town murmurs at its myrtle-groves being deserted, and its sulphur baths despised, so famous for driving a lingering disorder from the sinews, and takes offence at invalids who dare to plunge head and stomach under the showers from Clusium's springs, or who repair to Gabii and its cold ocuntry-side.
  3. to shatter or crush
