1. nominative/accusative/vocative plural of urbs
   • 116 BCE – 27 BCE, Marcus Terentius Varro, On the Latin Language 5.143:

     Quare et oppida quae prius erant circumducta aratro ab orbe et urvo urb⟨e⟩s et ideo coloniae nostrae omnes in litteris antiquis scribuntur urbis, quod item conditae ut Roma, et ideo coloniae et urbes conduntur, quod intra pomerium ponuntur.

     • 1938 translation by Roland G. Kent

       Therefore towns also which had earlier had the plough drawn around them, were termed urbes 'cities,' from orbis 'circle' and urvum 'curved'; therefore also all our colonies are mentioned as urbes in the old writings, because they had been founded in just the same way as Rome; therefore also colonies and cities conduntur 'are founded,' because they are placed inside the pomerium.

     • Nyman 1990 takes the manuscript nominative plural form "urbis" as a genuine form, but some editors doubt that "urbis" (sometimes alternatively read as "urbeis") was used here by Varro, and normalize it to "urbes".
     • According to Kent, "orbe" and "urbes et" are editorial corrections of manuscript "urbe" and "urbs est", respectively.
2. dative/ablative plural of urbum
