Adjective

- 38 CE – 104 CE, Martial, 13 2:
- Nasutus sis usque licet, sis denique nasus,
Quantum noluerat ferre rogatus Atlans,
Et possis ipsum tu deridere Latinum:
Non potes in nugas dicere plura meas,
Ipse ego quam dixi.- You're allowed to be keen-nosed, or in a nutshell to be a nose, to the point Atlas himself, if asked, would be unwilling to carry you. You can even surpass Latinus [the pantomime] himself in wit, but you can't attack my trifles more than I have myself.
- Nasutus sis usque licet, sis denique nasus,
- 1499, Erasmus, Letter to Faustus Andrelinus, lauded poet :
- Nos in Anglia nonnihil promovimus. […] Tu quoque, si sapis, huc advolabis. Quid ita te iuvat hominem tam nasutum inter merdas Gallicas consenescere? Sed retinet te tua podagra; ut ea te salvo pereat male.
- We have made some progress in England. […] You, too, if you're wise, will fly your way here. What could please you, a man of such wit, about growing old in French shit? But your toe gout stops you; I hope that it dies a bad death and that you get better.
- Nos in Anglia nonnihil promovimus. […] Tu quoque, si sapis, huc advolabis. Quid ita te iuvat hominem tam nasutum inter merdas Gallicas consenescere? Sed retinet te tua podagra; ut ea te salvo pereat male.
