Illustration★★★Deference to, The Emperor Adrian, not content with being the first in power, was ambitious to be the first in letters, e once corrected Favorinus for employing an improper word. He submitted with patience, though he was convinced that he was correct. ‘When his friends objected to his compliance, he answered, “Shall not I easily suffer him to be the most learned of all men who has thirty legions at his command ?”
The point
Emperor Hadrian yielded gracefully to a scholar's correction rather than press his authority, valuing peace over pride.
