   • 1856, M. Nélaton, “Clinical Lectures on Surgery”, in Dublin quarterly journal of medical science, volume 22, page 167:

     We can fairly reconcile this apparent lapse by observing, that M. Nelaton confounds the arteritic form of the affection with that supervening on ossified arteries; a circumstance first noticed by Cowper, the anatomist, but denied gravely by Pott, an author who is frequently quoted as countenancing the idea.

   • 1965, John R. Gamble, Current concepts of clinical gastroenterology, page 119:

     These arteritic lesions are not confined to the striated musculature, but occur everywhere, including the superior and inferior mesenteric arterial beds.

   • 2008, Current Ocular Therapy, page 581:

     Arteritic and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy both manifest as sudden visual loss associated with optic disc edema.
