מר קשישא בריה דרב חסדא Mar Kashisha son of Rav Chisda
Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation (c. 350–375 CE) — named 21 times across 14 tractates of the Bavli.
Mar Kashisha son of Rav Chisda, of the fifth Babylonian generation. The by-name — the elder — distinguishes him from his brother; the Bavli writes him both with the patronymic and without it.
He is named some twenty times across fourteen tractates, spread very thinly, and Rav Ashi is the name he stands beside most. The Talmud brings him in the ordinary exchanges of the academy rather than as the author of positions the law turns on.
Son of Rav Chisda.
