Rav Tachlifa bar Avimi, of the fourth Babylonian generation; the Bavli writes the patronymic both as Avimi and as Avdimi.

His place in the Talmud is that of a transmitter of Shmuel: ten of his citations open with a teaching given in Shmuel's name, and Shmuel is the name he stands beside above all others. He is cited some fourteen times across nine tractates, spread very thinly. The entry is marked for review; beyond that channel, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly.

Rarely cited.
