Rav Malkiyu, of the fourth Babylonian generation. His entry is unusual in this index because the Gemara does the disambiguating work itself: it sets out which rulings belong to him and which to Rav Malkiya, whose name is one letter away, and hands down a mnemonic for keeping them apart. The roster marks the entry for review all the same, since the two spellings do not always hold.

He is named some twenty-seven times but in only eight tractates — Beitzah, Ketubot, Makkot and Niddah carry twenty of them — the narrow signature of a sage remembered for a fixed handful of positions.

The Gemara sorts his rulings from Rav Malkiya's.
