Declension
Note that there is an archaic accusative singular form and an alternative ablative singular form :
 *  4th C., Flavius Sosipater Charisius (author), Heinrich Keil (editor), Ars Grammatica (1857), page 132:
 * Hebes hebetis, ut mīlitis segetis comitis teretis; et omnia quae es correptā terminantur, genetīvō tis syllabā fīniuntur, exceptīs residis obsidis dēsidis nōminibus, quia ex verbō generantur. Hebem Caecilius in Ὑποβολιμαίῳ,    subitō rēs reddent hebem.
 * Hebes—hebetis, just like mīlitis, segetis, comitis, teretis; and all which end in a short es end in the syllable tis in the genitive, except for the nouns residis, obsidis, dēsidis, because they are derived from a verb. Caecilius Statius says hebem in Hypobolimaeus:    the facts will suddenly render him dull.
 * Aulus Cornelius Celsus, De Medicina, 7, 3. In: Celsus De Medicina with an English translation by W. G. Spencer In three volumes III, 1961, page 304 and the following (the text of an older reprint online: Celsus: De Medicina)
 * Idem prōcēdente cūrātiōne ēruptiō sanguinis, aut sī, antequam sinus carne impleatur, ōrae carnosae fīunt, illa quoque ipsa carne hebete nec firma.
 * Again, bad signs in the course of the treatment are: haemorrhage, or if the margins become fleshy before the sinus has been filled up by flesh, and this flesh is insensitive and not firm.
