What honorific titles would be used to address members of the nobility before the medieval era?

by RusticBohemian

I'm interested in what sort of honorific titles might be used in the Greco-Roman world when addressing members of the nobility who were ranked below kings, emperors, etc, and who lacked a specific titled job like, "governor,"

Would "Sir," or "My Lord," be appropriate? If not, what was used instead, if anything?

For instance how might a servant address Alcibiades, or a member of the Roman senate?

Slaves definitely had specific terms to refer to their masters: dominus/δεσπότης, or domina/δέσποινα for a lady. These would eventually become terms of address for the emperor - δεσπότης was an ancient (as in, Alcibiades-era) term, but it was used in the Byzantine period to refer to/describe the emperor.

I don't know about any office-specific titles, though! I presume you could always have fallen back on "Quaestor/Archon So-and-So," but I'm not sure if there were specific terms of address, or if there was ever anything like a T-V distinction for referring to nobility in antiquity.
