+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Plautus, where someone says he is to his father just what a good son should be.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010)^(OLD 2012)

+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is in the same way, just so, often answering ⟨ut⟩ or ⟨quasi⟩: in the ''Asinaria'' a lover is, like a fish, no good to a bawd unless fresh.^(OLD 2012) It also means likewise, also: Plautus has one cook and another flute-girl as well.^(OLD 2012) A Pompeian inscription uses it with a relative clause.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it in like manner.^(Stelten 1995)
