רב קטינא Rav Kattina
Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation (c. 250–290 CE) — named 46 times across 20 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Kattina, of the second Babylonian generation, is cited some forty-six times across twenty tractates, and appears in the company of Rav Chisda, Rav Huna and, in later citation, Abaye and Rava.
His name carries one of the Talmud's most quoted statements about time: that the world endures six thousand years and one, the seventh, is desolate — the passage on which much later reflection about the ages of the world rests. He is also the subject of the exchange in which he is challenged about a garment exempt from fringes, and answers that a man is punished for what he could have taken on and did not.
Of the second generation in Babylonia.
