רבי אחא בר יעקב Rabbi Acha bar Yaakov
Amora of the Land of Israel · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 6 times across 5 tractates of the Bavli.
This entry holds the Eretz-Yisrael spelling of a name the Bavli mostly writes with the Babylonian title — Rabbi Acha bar Yaakov rather than Rav Acha bar Yaakov, whose own entry carries the great majority of the citations. The sage is placed in the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael.
Under this spelling the name is found six times, twice in Berachot and once each in four tractates besides, in the company of the tannaim of Usha and of Rabbi Yochanan; once Rabbi Ilai reports a teaching in his name. Whether the two spellings mean one man or two is not decided here, and the roster marks the entry for review.
