Exempla

“Ita inquit prōrsus: “Cōlant tamquam clientēs, tamquam salūtātōrēs!””

So [this] he says plainly: “[Slaves] should pay respect as if [they are] clients, as if morning-greeters!” (In other words, critics will claim that Seneca advocates treating slaves as if they were already freedmen, who became clientes of their former master, the patronus. See: salutatio, a formal morning ritual where clients would visit their patron to pay respects and receive patronage.)
