Nam quod ā Graecīs nunc κλέπτης dīcitur, antīquiōre Graecā linguā φὼρ dictum est. Hinc per adfīnitātem litterārum, quī φὼρ Graecē, est Latīnē 'fūr'.
For, what is now said a κλέπτης by the Greeks, in older Greek language φώρ was said. Hence, by affinity of the letters, he who [is] a φώρ in Greek is in Latin a fūr.

c. 177 CE, Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 1.18.5

Quoniam fīliī sānctōrum sumus, et vītam illam expectāmus, quam Deus datūrus est hīs quī fidem suam numquam mūtant ab eō.
