Rabbi Yonatan ben Elazar, of the first amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael, was of Sepphoris, and is named four times — twice in Chagigah and twice in Shabbat.

He is cited beside Rabbi Chanina bar Chama, the leading voice of that city in that generation. The roster marks the entry for review, since the Bavli's forms do not always separate him from the sages who bear the plain name Yonatan.

Of Sepphoris.
