מר עוקבא Mar Ukva
Amora of Babylonia · 1st generation (c. 220–250 CE) — named 83 times across 20 tractates of the Bavli.
Mar Ukva, of the first Babylonian generation, held the office of exilarch and sat before Shmuel as a student, and the Talmud presents him as both judge and disciple — the head of the community who submits his rulings to the head of the academy.
He is remembered above all for the manner of his charity: the poor man to whose door he sent money without ever being seen, and the night he and his wife hid in an oven rather than let the man learn who his benefactor was. He is named some eighty times, heaviest in Shabbat and Ketubot, and is cited by other sages some twenty times.
The exilarch who sat before Shmuel.
