Rabbi Yasa bears the Eretz-Yisrael tradition's form of the name the Bavli writes as Rabbi Assi, and all four of his mentions in this corpus fall in Shekalim, whose printed Gemara is the Yerushalmi's rather than the Bavli's. Once he reports a teaching in Rabbi Chanina bar Chama's name.

He belongs to the third amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. Whether Rabbi Yasa and Rabbi Assi are one sage under two spellings is a question the Bavli's own text does not settle, so the roster keeps the two entries apart and marks this one for review rather than deciding it here.

The Yerushalmi's name for Rabbi Assi.
