Rav Natan, of the fourth Babylonian generation. This is the Babylonian form of the name, which the roster keeps apart from the Tanna Rabbi Natan HaBavli; the entry is marked for review.

He is named some two dozen times across fourteen tractates, five of those inside another sage's patronymic, heaviest in Pesachim. Rava, Rav Chisda and Abaye are the names the form stands beside most, which places it in the generation the roster assigns it and no further.
