Assurgents has two additional hits on Google Scholar ; in the first one it seems to be used as "one who raises" ("Gain for decreased risk was achieved by educating people about risk reduction and price assurgents "), and in the second it is used in a specified botanical sense ("Conidiophores arising in fascicles of up to 20 assurgents, straight to slightly curved, aseptate to septate, unbranched ").

arteriac

1906, John Isaac Beare, Greek Theories of Elementary Cognition from Alcmaeon to Aristotle, Oxford: Clarendon Press, page 260:
On the whole it appears that Diogenes possessed in a marked degree a perception […] of the necessity for a central organizing faculty, whether of sense or intelligence, on which consciousness and memory depend; and that he regarded this as seated chiefly in the air in the region of the heart—whether in the lungs or, as the compiler of the Placita tells us, in ‘the arteriac cavity’ of the heart.

The Crowns and Garlands of the Ancients were either Gestatory, such as they wore about their Heads or Necks; Portatory, such as they carried at solemn Festivals; Pensile or Suspensory, such as they hanged about the Posts of their Houses in honour of their Gods, as of Jupiter Thyræus or Limeneus; or else they were Depository, such as they laid upon the Graves and Monuments of the dead.
1882 may, Rev. Wladislaw Somerville Lach-Szyrma, “May Day”, in The Antiquary, volume 5, London, page 187:

In its secondary sense feretrum signified a portable shrine, containing the relics of saints, and carried in processions on a frame similar to the ordinary bier; and also stationary shrines of similar fashion, but which it was not customary to display as gestatory ornaments, such as those of St. Cuthbert at Durham, or St. Thomas of Hereford, in the cathedral there.

vitalic (two senses)

1848, Edgar Allan Poe, Eureka: A Prose Poem:
Is it impossible that the successive geological revolutions which have attended, at least, if not immediately caused, these successive elevations of vitalic character […] have themselves been produced by the successive planetary discharges from the Sun—in other words, by the successive variations in the solar influence on the Earth?
1868, Andrew Jackson Davis, The Great Harmonia, volume 5, New York, page 395:
The foundation of this argument is, that the human soul is the focalized, concentrated extract or epitome of all the forces and vitalic laws which fill, inspire, and actuate the immeasurable empire of Nature and God.
1931 January, Frank Belknap Long, Jr., “The Horror from the Hills”, in Weird Tales, volume 17, number 1, Indianapolis, Indiana: Popular Fiction Publishing Company, page 42:
Did not Cuvier believe that there had been not one but an infinite number of 'creations’, and that as our earth cooled after its departure from the sun a succession of vitalic phenomena appeared on its surface?
1924 February, Francis Collins Miller, “Irrepressible Appreciations of a Good Book”, in The Notre Dame Scholastic, volume 57, number 6, Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame, page 56:
He did not attempt to be sophistical; he “varied” his reading, in the sense that all literature should be varied, between the so-called “classics”—of stock—and the vitalic literature that breathes of onflowing life.
1935 January, Mary Watkins Reeves, “Subject: Frances Langford; Object: Matrimony”, in Radio Mirror, volume 3, number 3, New York: Macfadden Publications, Inc., page 66:
Such a child! you'd think first thing, noting her vitalic freshness, her little-girl lack of affectation.
