1853 A. H. Wehrhan tr. A. B. Marx Universal School Music 114 Those [rhythmical forms which may be derived in two ways] most frequently occurring are the Sextuplet (group of six). If we consider it as a double triplet, its first sound receives the strongest accent..but it we look upon it as a subdivision of the notes of a single triplet, we must accentuate the first, third, and fifth notes.

1876 J. Stainer & W. A. Barrett Dict. Musical Terms 395/1 Sextolet, or Sextuplet, a double triplet, six notes to be performed in the time of four.
