Calling out to a person whose name one does not know
Context
ONE SHOULD CALL to a person whose name he does not know with words that will not hurt him, and in which there are no lies or excessive humility. One should use expressions like: ‘O brother,’ ‘O scholar,’ ‘O my master,’ ‘O owner of a certain robe,’ ‘O owner of certain shoes,’ or of a certain horse, camel, sword or spear and the like of this, according to the circumstances of the person calling out and the one to whom he calls.
