The term "stipend" in literature often conveys varying implications of monetary support or compensation, reflecting societal values and practical realities. In Livy's work, for instance, a stipend is depicted as a regimented allocation assigned even to horsemen, underscoring its role in structured, state-sponsored remuneration [1]. In contrast, Florence Hartley portrays a clergyman's stipend as modest and hardly sufficient to sustain a scholarly life, suggesting it as both a blessing and a source of chronic want [2]. Aaron Bernstein further illustrates the economic struggle by noting that even pastors who minister to multiple parishes receive such modest pay that additional labor becomes necessary to make ends meet [3]. Meanwhile, Braddon critiques the meagerness of a teacher's stipend when weighed against their merits and potential contributions [4]. Conversely, Suetonius describes a more generous use in an academic setting, where substantial stipends were allocated to professors of rhetoric, highlighting the prestige and priority placed on higher education in that era [5].
