Rav Acha bar Rav, of the fifth Babylonian generation. He is named close to thirty times across fourteen tractates, heaviest in Chullin, and appears in the company of Rava, Ravina and Rav Chisda's rulings.

The entry is marked for review: this is a rarely cited sage, and beyond the generation, the centre and the shape of the citations themselves, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.
