|---|---|---|---|
| "After him Rav Idi bar Avin, who died in the Seleucid year 763" (452 CE). | tradition | ★★★★☆ | |
| No source names his teacher. Per this atlas's succession roster, Rav Ashi held the headship of his academy during his formative window (c. 4157–4177 AM), making reception from him 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.
