רב חייא בר אשי Rav Chiya bar Ashi
Amora of Babylonia · 3rd generation (c. 290–320 CE) — named 73 times across 20 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Chiya bar Ashi, of the third Babylonian generation, was a student of Rav, and his standing in the Talmud is that of a transmitter: he is quoted in another sage's name some fifty times in this corpus, nearly all of it Rav's teaching.
He is named some seventy-five times across twenty tractates, a quarter of them in Shabbat. What the later academies held about Rav's practice — how he prayed, how he conducted himself, what he ruled — often reaches them through him, which is why his name appears where the Gemara wants a report of conduct rather than an argument.
Cited constantly in Rav's name.
