Rav Chinena bar Kahana, of the third Babylonian generation, is named six times — twice each in Beitzah and Ketubot, once each in Shabbat and Taanit — and in three of those places he is reporting a teaching in an earlier sage's name, Shmuel's twice and Rav's once.

That is the company the index places him in. The roster marks the entry for review, and era, generation and these citations are what can be said of him with confidence.
