Dionysius+of+Miletus

Dionysius of Miletus was a rival of Avidius Heliodorus. This led to him criticizing Hadrian's appointment of Heliodorus to the position of Greek Secretary. The quote in Dio's document is well-known and served as Dionysius' way of insulting Heliodorus and showing his dislike of the appointment. He later became a member of Mouseion, because he was appointed by the emperor Hadrian. Dionysius was a good orator, and one of the better sophists during this time.
