רב שימי בר אשי Rav Shimi bar Ashi
Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation (c. 350–375 CE) — named 62 times across 26 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Shimi bar Ashi, of the fifth Babylonian generation, was a student of Abaye and is named throughout the later Bavli in the company of Rav Papa and Rav Kahana.
He is cited some sixty times, spread across twenty-six tractates without gathering in any one — a distribution that fits a sage whose contribution is the clarifying comment rather than a body of rulings in a particular field. Several of his remarks are the Gemara's own explanation of why an earlier authority ruled as he did.
Of Abaye's students.
