Rav Idi bar Avin, of the fourth Babylonian generation, taught at Pumbedita and is quoted in others' names some twenty times. He was the son of Rabbi Avin the carpenter, of whom the Talmud tells that Rav Huna, seeing how carefully he kindled lamps, foretold that great men would come from that house. His own son, Rav Sheisha, belongs to Rav Ashi's circle a generation later.

He is cited some seventy-five times across twenty-five tractates, heaviest in Chullin, and appears most often beside Rav Chisda and Rav Amram.

Of Pumbedita; his sons headed the academy.
