Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation×32 named in the Bavli17 tractates

Rav Mordechai, of the fifth Babylonian generation, belonged to Rav Ashi's circle, and Rav Ashi is the name he stands beside most often in the corpus.

He is named some thirty times across seventeen tractates, spread very evenly — no tractate carries more than four. The Talmud brings him in the practical register of the late Babylonian generations: what was asked, what was answered, and what was done.

Of Rav Ashi's circle.
