Rav Nachman bar Papa, of the sixth Babylonian generation, is named three times, twice in Bava Metzia and once in Chullin.

The roster marks the entry for review, since the Bavli's forms do not always separate the several sages who carry this name. Beyond his generation and these citations, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.

Rarely cited.
