i forgot - SI was then added cuz the full rhyme is:

Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum, Solve polluti Labii reatum,
Sancte Joannes

Formerly "I" was used instead of "J" (Sancte Ioannes) so this MIGHT be the origin of the SI

and the verse wasnt written by D´Arezzo, but by Paolo Diacono (Ca 720 - 799) - D´Arezzo only used it - my bad
D´Arezzo MIGHT have been the one introducing SI, but that is disputed
