Dear Jean-Michel,
According to the citations I have collected
(http://applications.library.appstate.edu/music/lute/continuo.html),
many of the Italian editions of Corelli's Op. 1 call for the tiorba:
Corelli 1682
Corelli, Arcangelo. Sonate a trè, due violini, e violone, ò tiorba, col
basso per l'organo . . . [Op. 1] Nuovamente ristampata (Bologna: Giacomo
Monti) [MARX p. 83]
Corelli 1684a
Corelli, Arcangelo. Sonate a trè, due violini, e violone o tiorba, col
basso per l'organo . . . [Op. 1] Nuovamente ristampata (Bologna: Giacomo
Monti) [MARX p. 83]
Corelli 1684b
Corelli, Arcangelo. Suonate a trè, due violini, e violone o tiorba, col
basso per l'organo . . . [Op. 1] Nuovamente ristampata (Venice: Giuseppe
Sala) [MARX p. 83]
Corelli 1685b
Corelli, Arcangelo. Sonate studiose . . . due violini, e violone, ò
tiorba, col basso per l'organo [Op. 1] (Modena: Antonio Vitaliani)
[MARX, p. 84]
. . .
Corelli 1707
Corelli, Arcangelo. Suonate a trè, due violini, e violone, ò tiorba, col
basso per l'organo . . . [Op. 1] (Venice: Giuseppe Sala) [MARX p. 88]
I didn't see these first hand, but cite them from: [MARX] = Marx, H. J.
Die Überlieferung der Werke Arcangelo Corellis: catalogue raisonné.
(Köln: Arno Volk Verlag, 1980). I assume he transcribed the title pages
correctly.

not theorbo, but arcileuto as in many publication at the time (including
for instance Mascitti, Haym...). Arcileuto is namely mentionned in the
first edtions of op. 1 ( Rome: Gio. Angelo Mutij, 1681) and 3 (Rome:
Gio. Giacomo Komarek, 1689), well in Roma. I've never seen the theorbo
mentionned in Corelli.

Hmm, that pretty much boils down to Op. 1 and Op. 3 ... doesn't it?
And those are tro sonatas where the _theorbo_ can substitute for the
violone part (IIRC none of the prints mentioning archlute are from Rome).
