Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation×35 named in the Bavli18 tractates3 as a patronymic

Rav Avya, of the fourth Babylonian generation. He is named some thirty-five times across eighteen tractates, three of those inside another sage's patronymic, with Shabbat carrying the heaviest share and the rest spread thinly.

He appears in the company of Rav Yosef, Rava and Abaye — the Pumbedita of his day — and the Bavli usually brings him putting the question rather than settling it.

Of the fourth Babylonian generation.
