Usage examples of "barbatus".
Master Severian, let me present the honorable Hierodules Ossipago, Barbatus, and Famulimus.
It had not occurred to me that the three might be Ossipago, Barbatus, and Famulimus.
Ossipago bowed as stiffly as ever, Barbatus and Famulimus as gracefully.
You took care of Barbatus and Famulimus when they were small, saw to it that they were fed and so on, and you've remained with them ever since.
The chamber into which Barbatus ushered me was as marvelous to Severian the man--to the Autarch Severian, who had Thecla's life, and the old Autarch's, and a hundred more to draw upon--as the mausoleum had been to the child.
When Famulimus, Barbatus, Ossipago, and I had gone there, I had paid no heed to either the route or the distance.
My first thought was to speak to the captain, ensuring a favorable hearing for myself by contacting him through Barbatus or Famulimus.
I turned to see two masked Hierodules, and because I was not expecting them, it took me a moment to recognize Barbatus and Famulimus.

And at last I said, "Ossipago, bring your light, please, to where Barbatus stood.
Barbatus nodded, and Ossipago moved nearer the place where Barbatus had been standing when I woke.
If Barbatus was discomposed by this interruption, nothing indicated it.
From his knees Barbatus said, "If we'd let Ossipago take us to a better place, as he wished, it would have been an earlier one.
