sir: as title of respect in address: use, bone vir! my good sir! Ter. Andr. 5, 2, 5; and sometimes simply, bone! but this latter is rather more familiar (my good fellow!), Hor. S. 2, 6, 95: more courteous still, vir optime! and pl. viri optimi! Cic. Am. 10, init. In addressing a person of rank, or a scholar, vir clarissime! vir doctissime! may be used: M. L. pass.
