רב שמעיה Rav Shmaya
Amora of Babylonia · 5th generation (c. 350–375 CE) — named 25 times across 15 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Shmaya, of the fifth Babylonian generation. He is named some twenty-five times across fifteen tractates, one of those inside another's patronymic, heaviest in Pesachim and Eruvin.
The entry is marked for review because he is rarely cited and the name is not rare. Abaye, Rava and Rav Kahana are the names he stands beside in the corpus; the reference tradition adds little more than that, and this bio does not either.
Rarely cited.
