Rabbi Chiya bar Adda, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, appears in this corpus only in Shekalim, whose Gemara in the printed Shas is the Yerushalmi's rather than the Bavli's; all five of his mentions fall there.

That is the whole of his footprint in the Bavli we hold, and it places him squarely in the Eretz-Yisrael tradition. The roster marks the entry for review, since more than one sage bears the name.
