  After this troop appeared a long train of chariots, twenty four of which were drawn by elephants; ſixty by he-goats; twelve by lions; ſix by oryges, a ſpecies of goats; fifteen by buffaloes; four by wild aſſes; eight by oſtriches; and ſeven by ſtags.
- 1845, “ANTELOPE”, in John Kitto, editor, A Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature, volume I, Edinburgh: Adam and Charles Black, page 160, column 1:
  If the two oryges were not anciently distinguished as species, then tao, theo, would apply to the present, the name indicating the spinal cross; but in that case, it must have existed in early ages as far north at least as the borders of Palestine, which is by no means impossible. This last species would answer completely to the description of wild bull, while there can be no doubt that, in the dialects of some provinces of that country, the oryges of Arabia may still be denominated reem, even when bearing both horns; and all are sufficiently vicious, energetic, and capable of mischief, to justify the characters assigned to them in poetical phraseology, agreeably to the amplifying spirit of Aramæan nations.

  A collection of green slate objects made in the forms of animals, &c., e.g., oryges, cuttlefish, tortoises, &c., chiefly of the Predynastic Period not later than b.c. 4000.

  The top of the Hall is protected with a row of spear heads, and from the ceiling hang four heads of gazelle, or oryges; according to a legend certain enemies of Osiris transformed themselves into these animals, and were slain by the god.
- 1936, The Complete Works of Doctor François Rabelais, translation of original by François Rabelais, page 797:
  And I saw werewolves, centaurs, tigers, leopards, hyenas, camelopards or giraffes, and oryges, a variety of Egyptian unicorn with certain features of the antelope.
