Rabbi Zakkai, of the second amoraic generation in Eretz Yisrael. He is named some fifteen times across nine tractates, spread very thinly, with Niddah and Sanhedrin the heaviest, and Mar Ukva carries a teaching in his name.

The entry is marked for review because he is rarely cited. Beyond the generation, the centre and that company, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.

Rarely cited.
