Rav Chinena son of Rava, of the sixth Babylonian generation, is known by his father's name, as many sages of the last Babylonian generations are. He is cited five times — twice each in Chullin and Pesachim, and once in Menachot.

The roster marks the entry for review, since the Bavli's forms do not always separate the sages so named. Era, generation and these citations are what can be said of him with confidence.
