Rav Shimi, of the fifth Babylonian generation. The entry is marked for review: more than one sage carries the name, and the Bavli's bare form — without a patronymic — does not separate them.

He is named close to thirty times across seventeen tractates, spread as thinly as a distribution can be, with Bava Kamma the heaviest at four. Rava, Rav Papa and Rav Ashi are the names the form stands beside most.

More than one sage of the name.
