M. Tullius Cicero in On Duties, book I: And remarkable is the equanimity in all of life, and the same expression and the same forehead implying a steady demeanor always.

Sebum tallow and unguentum ointment have this difference: sebum is made from the fat of ruminating animals... Lucilius, Satires, book IV:

Tisiphone brought the ointment boiled from the lungs and fat of Tityus, the most holy Fury of the Eumenides.

Mussare to mutter and murmurare to murmur are distinguished thus: mussare belongs to men speaking something secretly and in a pressed voice, because they wish it to be concealed. Virgil, book XI:

But they mutter to say what the fortune of the people might bring.

And elsewhere:

The fathers, sad, mutter and weep.

However, murmur is of a greater sound, bordering on a tumult. Virgil in Georgics, book I:

And the shores resonating from afar [are] mixed, and the murmur of the groves grows louder.

Priores former/prior and primores foremost/tips have this difference: for priores are of the comparative degree; primores are the very tips of things. Lucilius, Satires, book VIII:

When the victorious rooster stands proudly, he raises himself onto his toes and his foremost claws.

Turpilius in Demetrius:

Leaning on her sandals with her very toes.
