- 1676, Gerard Blasius, Zootomia seu anatome variorum animalium, volume 1, Amsterdam: Abraham Wolfgang, page 17:
  Humerus movetur sursum à Musculo Deltoide, amplo valde et carnoso, qui latè exoritur à claviculâ mediâ, acromio, totaque scapulae spinâ, et hinc, collecto tendine robusto, in medio humeri terminatur.

- 1784, Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, Historia Musculorum Hominis cum VIII Figuris, 2nd edition, page 19:
  Affigunt se vel ossi, vel tendini, vel carni cuidam, vel parti aliae molliori. Quatuor autem sunt modi, quibus affigunt: primus est, cum se ossi affigunt, aut cartilagini: secundus, cum iisdem, sed interventu periostei, aut perichondrii: tertius, cum membranae, aut tendini: quartus, cum carni cuidam, aut parti molliori. Primum enim multi ad ipsa ossa pertingunt, iisque se quasi inferunt, fibras partim ad ea adnectentes, partim in ea infigentes; eaque insertio tenacissima est, et fere tantummodo propria tendinum robustorum, ut Gluteorum, Deltoidum, Pectoralium, Flexorum digitorum: nisi quis malit dicere, cum periosteo eos ita in unum conjungi, et hoc cum osse, ut os ipsum attingere videantur. Sic et quidam se cartilaginibus in valentibus et annosis inferunt, sed minus pertinaciter.

  Non saepe occurrit, musculis aliarum partium sanis; facile dignosci potest ex impotentia brachium superiora versus tollendi; humerus magis planus fit; Musculus Deltoides disparet. DE HAEN observavit paralysin membrorum superiorum cum Deltoidum emaciatione et tanta omnium musculorum humeri ac brachii utriusque flacciditate ut nullo modo carnem, sed pulpam mollem potius referre viderentur (1).

¹It is unknown if Classical Latin preserved (or would have preserved) the shortness of the original Greek short ending.
²It is unknown whether adjectives of this type would use i-stem or consonant-stem endings in Classical Latin: the relevant forms are not attested. Depending on the word, either ending or both may be attested in New Latin.
