- 1837, Louis Viardot, L’Ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche, volume 1, translation of El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Chapter XLV:
  « Et je dis aussi que bien que ce soit un armet, ce n’est pas un armet entier. ¶ – Non certes, s’écria don Quichotte, car il lui manque une moitié, qui est la mentonnière. »
  "And I say that as much as it is an armet, it is not an entire armet" ¶ "Certainly not," exclaimed Don Quixote, "as it is missing a half, which is the beaver."
