רב דימי Rav Dimi
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 264 times across 33 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Dimi was one of the nachotei, the sages of the fourth generation who went down from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia carrying what the western academies had said. The Talmud's formula when Rav Dimi came introduces some of the most important reports in the Bavli, and often a ruling reaches us in no other way.
He is quoted as a transmitter some seventy-eight times in this corpus, most of it in Rabbi Yochanan's name, and he is regularly set beside Ravin, the other great traveller of his generation — where their two versions of a teaching differ, the Gemara weighs them against each other. He is named some two hundred and sixty times across thirty-three tractates.
A nachota who carried Eretz Yisrael's teaching down to Babylonia.
