    • c. 280 CE, Nonius Marcellus, De compendiosa doctrina 83:[1]
      Lixarum proprietas haec est, quod officium sustineant militibus aquae vehendae; lixam namque aquam veteres vocaverunt; unde elixum dicimus aqua coctum. Lix[a] etiam cinis dicitur vel umor cineri mixtus; nam etiamnunc id genus lexivum vocatur.

Usage notes

Lindsay 1891, citing Onions, argues that the manuscripts' "lix etiam" is merely a corruption of "lixaetiam", i.e. "lixa etiam".[2]
