רבי דוסתאי Rabbi Dostai
Tanna · 4th generation (c. 135–170 CE) — named 13 times across 11 tractates of the Bavli.
Rabbi Dostai, of the fourth tannaitic generation. The roster marks the entry for review: this is the bare form of the name, and more than one sage carries it — the Bavli itself usually adds a patronymic when it means a particular one.
The form is cited some thirteen times across eleven tractates, spread about as thinly as a distribution can be, with no tractate carrying more than two. This entry gives the generation and the counts and does not choose one life among several.
Bare form; more than one sage of the name.
