What does "clãrus" mean (Latin)?

The text in "In Aisã est vir clãrus."
That means (without clãrus) A man is in Asia, I know that, but I don't know what clãrus means.
I'm studying 1st year Latin.

BTW, I checked the glossery in the back of my book, but the C page was ripped out. Thats my luck...

Sine scientiã sum. I think that's right...

You can translate it as "famous" in most contexts, I believe. In the Later Empire, "clarissimus" ("most famous") became a title of nobility.
