ref: 1725, The Voiage and Travaile of Sir John Maundeville, Kt..., page 58:
text: The Dictionary says that the meanings of the two forms are quite distinct and invariable; that Latiner is, to put it shortly, a Latin scholar, that Latimer is an interpreter, and that Latiner is never used in that sense. In the Hilary term of 34 Henry VI a case was heard to which a foreigner who could not speak our language was a party. He was allowed to engage the services of an interpreter, and that interpreter is plainly written down as a Latiner and not as a Latimer. That is an example of a certain emendation that would have been made in the Dictionary if the Year Books had been consulted.
