   • 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Letters to Friends:

     Hīs ego tamen diēbus, lūdīs scaenicīs, nē forte videar tibi nōn modo beātus sed līber omnīnō fuisse, dīrūpī mē paene in iūdiciō Gallī Canīnī, familiāris tuī.

     As for me, these past days, during the plays (in case you picture me as a free man, if not a happy one), I pretty well ruptured my lungs defending your friend Gallus Caninius.

3. a relative

   • 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.)
