Rav Yitzchak bar Ashian, of the third Babylonian generation, is named eight times across five tractates, and he is one of the rare sages of this size whose teaching reaches us mostly in another man's mouth: five of the eight are places where Rav Idi bar Avin reports a ruling in his name.

He belongs to the circle of Rav and Rav Huna. The roster marks the entry for review, and era, generation and these citations are what can be said of him with confidence.
