I seem to recall a letter of Mark Antony in which he refers to his adversary as Octavian or something similar. It was along time ago when I read that, but I think the idea was that he was addressing him as such on purpose, as a kind of veiled insult.

Matthew James Stanham
It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one\'s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Yoshida Kenko (1283-1350), Tsurezure-Gusa (1340)
