רב אויא סבא Rav Avya the Elder
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 6 times across 4 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Avya the Elder, of the fourth Babylonian generation, carries in his name the epithet that distinguishes him from the sage of the same name who has his own entry. He is cited six times — twice each in Beitzah and Chullin, once each in Moed Katan and Sanhedrin — with the weight on the law of the festivals.
He appears in the company of Rabbah and Rav Papa. The roster marks the entry for review; beyond the generation and that circle, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly.
Rarely cited.
