Rav Chanina, of the third Babylonian generation, is cited some forty-six times across twenty-three tractates, spread thinly rather than concentrated.

This is the Babylonian form of a name borne by several sages, in Babylonia and in Eretz Yisrael, and the Bavli does not always separate them; the entry is marked for review. Beyond the generation and the company in which he is cited — Rav's circle, and later Abaye's — the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.
