L.R. Palmer, The Latin Language, 1954, p. 275:
(1) *-is-ont >-ĕrunt;
(2) stative -ē- + -ri > -ēre;
(3) a contamination of the two types > -ērunt.
Examples:
(1) matri longa decem tulĕrunt fastidia menses. Virgil, Eclogue IV.61.
(2) urbem Romam a principio reges habuēre. Tacitus, Annales I.1.1
(3) Postquam te fata tulērunt,
ipsa Pales agros atque ipse reliquit Apollo. Virgil, Eclogue V.34-5.
