- c. 1587–1588, [Christopher Marlowe], Tamburlaine the Great. […] The First Part […], part 1, 2nd edition, London: […] [R. Robinson for] Richard Iones, […], published 1592, OCLC 932920499; reprinted as Tamburlaine the Great (A Scolar Press Facsimile), Menston, Yorkshire; London: Scolar Press, 1973, →ISBN, Act III, scene iii:
  Let him bring millions infinite of men,
  Unpeopling weſterne Affrica and Greece:
  Yet we aſſure vs of the victorie.

Usage notes[edit]

Until the early 20th century, million behaved much like an ordinary quantificational noun (such as pair or handful). That is, it inflected in the plural when modified by a numeral greater than 1, and was separated from the noun it quantified with of, as in: five millions of pounds (rather than the modern equivalent, five million pounds).
