Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation×4 named in the Bavli3 tractates1 as a patronymicWants a person’s eye

Rav Chanilai, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is named four times, one of them the name standing inside another sage's patronymic rather than a citation of his own; the rest are in Eruvin, Niddah and Yevamot, and once Rabbi Tanchum reports a teaching in his name.

The roster marks the entry for review. Era, generation and those few citations are the whole of what can be said about him with confidence.

Rarely cited.
