Rav Chanilai bar Idi, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is in the Talmud almost entirely as a transmitter of Shmuel: five of his ten citations open with a teaching given in Shmuel's name.

He appears in only three tractates, eight of the ten in Gitin — the narrow signature of a sage whose recorded teaching falls almost wholly in one body of law. The entry is marked for review; the channel and the counts are what the corpus preserves.

Rarely cited.
