   • 1878, C. Schweigger, Porter Farley, Handbook of Ophthalmology, page 359:

     Simultaneously the nucleus becomes more distinctly differentiated from the corticalis, by a more or less decided yellowish-brown color; its transparency, however, does not suffer to the same degree as that of the corticalis.

   • 1956, Progress in radiobiology, page 431:

     Sometimes it was present within the normal ring of the corticalis and sometimes in a greatly expanded corticalis, extending also into the marrow cavity.

   • 2012, T. Rand, P. Ritschl, S. Trattnig, Imaging of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors: A Case Study Approach:

     There might be some thinning of the corticalis, but there is no evidence of erosion or destruction.
