Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 22 times across 15 tractates of the Bavli.

Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation×22 named in the Bavli15 tractates

Mar Zutra son of Rav Nachman, of the fourth Babylonian generation. The patronymic keeps him apart from the several other Mar Zutras the Bavli names, whom the bare form does not separate.

He is cited a little over twenty times across fifteen tractates, spread very thinly, and Rav Nachman — his father — and Rava are the names he stands beside most. The Talmud brings him putting questions and reporting practice rather than laying down positions of his own.

Of the fourth generation.
