רב שילא Rav Shela
Amora of Babylonia · 1st generation (c. 220–250 CE) — named 19 times across 8 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Shela, of the first Babylonian generation, is remembered less for his own rulings than for his school: the Bavli's recurring phrase bei Rav Shela — the house of Rav Shela — carries teachings that came out of it long after him.
The count shows exactly that. Of the close to twenty occurrences of the name, ten are not him speaking but the name standing inside somebody else's — the school's, or a student's patronymic — leaving nine where he is the one cited. He appears in eight tractates, heaviest in Menachot and Shabbat.
Of the school 'bei Rav Shela'.
