  1. genitive masculine/feminine plural of volucer
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 2.234:
      Tum vero Phaethon cunctis e partibus orbem
      adspicit accensum nec tantos sustinet aestus
      ferventisque auras velut e fornace profunda
      ore trahit currusque suos candescere sentit;
      et neque iam cineres eiectatamque favillam
      ferre potest calidoque involvitur undique fumo,
      quoque eat aut ubi sit, picea caligine tectus
      
nescit et arbitrio volucrum raptatur equorum.
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.245:
      Dissipat hunc radiis Hyperione natus iterque
      dat tibi, qua possis defossos promere vultus;
      nec tu iam poteras enectum pondere terrae
      tollere, nympha, caput corpusque exsangue iacebas:
      nil illo fertur volucrum moderator equorum
      post Phaethonteos vidisse dolentius ignes.
    • c. 45 CE – 96 CE, Statius, Thebaid 10.228:
      Vertice sic Pholoes volucrum nutritor equorum,
      cum fetura gregem pecoroso vere novauit,
      laetatur cernens hos montis in ardua niti,
      hos innare vadis, certare parentibus illos;
      tunc vacuo sub corde movet, qui molle domandi
      ferre iugum, qui terga boni, quis in arma tubasque
      natus, ad Eleas melior quis surgere palmas:
      talis erat turmae ductor longaeuus Achivae.
    • c. 370 CE – 404 CE, Claudian, De Raptu Proserpinae 3.431:[1]
      Quis currus? Ferus ipse quis est? Terraene, marisne
      incola? Quae volucrum deprendam signa rotarum?
      • 1922 translation by M. Platnauer
        What chariot was it? Who was that cruel ravisher? A denizen of earth or sea? What traces of his wingèd wheels can I discover?
