Quoting%20commentary for Avodah Zarah 40:11

ופליגא דרבי יהושע בן לוי דא"ר יהושע בן לוי ענוה גדולה מכולן שנאמר (ישעיהו סא, א) רוח ה' אלהים עלי יען משח ה' אותי לבשר ענוים חסידים לא נאמר אלא ענוים הא למדת שענוה גדולה מכולן:

This disagrees with the view of R. Joshua b. Levy. For R. Joshua b. Levy said: Humility is the greatest of them all, as it says, “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the humble” (Isaiah 61:1). It does not say, “to the righteous,” but “to the humble” from which you learn that humility is greater than them all.
