Rav Zevid רב זביד
Head of Pumbedita after Rav Chama, a frequent voice in the Talmud's later strata; the Iggeret preserves of his headship only the tenure and the death year — exactly the kind of link this succession exists to keep.

V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| "After him Rav Zevid reigned at Pumbedita and died in the Seleucid year 696" (385 CE). | tradition | ★★★★☆ | |
| No source names his teacher. Per this atlas's succession roster, Rava and Abaye held the headship of his academy during his formative window (c. 4090–4110 AM), making reception from them the likeliest reconstruction.
Derived by era-and-institution inference, not attested. The formative window is computed from this entry's schematic dates, hence the low confidence. A talmudic attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
