   • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 47.14:

     Dominum patrem familiae appellāvērunt; servōs, quod etiam in mīmīs adhūc dūrat, familiārēs.

     They called the master the “father of the family,” and the slaves — as still happens in stage plays — “members of the family.”
     (The Roman paterfamilias ruled a familia which might include relations, slaves, and freedmen. Seneca, here advocating for humane treatment of slaves, probably implies the broader ancient sense of familiares.)
