Rav Yehoshua, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is known to the roster chiefly as the father of Rav Huna son of Rav Yehoshua, one of the well-attested sages of the following generation.

The counts show why little more can be said. Of the fifteen occurrences of the name, eight are not him speaking but the name standing inside his son's, leaving seven where he is the one cited, across nine tractates. The entry is marked for review, and this bio does not go beyond it.
