Amora of the Land of Israel · 4th generation×18 named in the Bavli11 tractates

Rabbi Avina, of the fourth amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. He is named close to twenty times across eleven tractates, spread very thinly, with Berachot, Chullin and Ketubot the heaviest, and Rabbi Elazar carries a teaching in his name.

Beyond the generation, the centre and the company he keeps in the corpus, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly, and this bio does not go further than that.

Of Eretz Yisrael.
