Ravai of Rov רב רבאי מרוב
The last named figure of the savoraic roster: "Rav Ravai of Rov, who was of our metivta — and they say he was gaon." Even his office is reported speech; the atlas records it at the Iggeret's own arm's length.

| "And after this, Rav Ravai of Rov, and he was of our metivta, and they say (amrin) that he was gaon."
Confidence lowered because the gaonate itself is hearsay within the source; no years are given.
