My immediate thought was to look at Vegetius, whose treatise was addressed to his emperor. He regularly refers to the emperor in these sort of terms: 'Your Clemency', 'Your Tranquillity', 'Your Majesty', 'Your Eternity', 'Your Serenity' and 'Your Piety'. However, when he addresses him directly in the vocative, he calls him 'Invincible Emperor' (imperator invicte).
