Rabbi Shmuel, of the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. The entry is marked for review: several sages carry the name, and the Bavli's bare form — with no patronymic and no by-name — does not separate them.

The form is cited some fourteen times across eight tractates, four of them in Shekalim, whose Gemara comes from the Yerushalmi. This entry gives the generation, the centre and the counts, and does not choose one life among several and tell it.

Several sages of the name.
