רב פפא בר שמואל Rav Papa bar Shmuel
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 15 times across 9 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Papa bar Shmuel, of the fourth Babylonian generation, sat as a judge in Rav Chisda's court — a different man from the Rav Papa of the fifth generation who headed Naresh, and the roster keeps them apart by the patronymic.
He is named some fifteen times across nine tractates, heaviest in Bava Batra and Bava Metzia, which is where a judge would be heard. Rava, Shmuel and Rav Chisda are the names he stands beside most.
A judge of Rav Chisda's court.
