Ravina of Amutzia רבינא מן אמוציא

One of the rabbanan savorai named in the Iggeret's death-roll of the generation after hora'ah ended — the third Ravina of the succession's pages, distinguished by his town. Sherira records for the first savoraim little beyond their deaths — most of them 'within a few years' — and this entry preserves exactly that.
