|---|---|---|---|
| "After him, Mar Rav Mari HaKohen of Nehar Pakod, five years" (c. 748–756 CE).
Years chained from the Iggeret's century anchor (Sel. 1000 = 689 CE) and its stated durations; the chain meshes with Yehudai Gaon's independently anchored 757–761 to within a few years.

tradition external | ★★★☆☆ | |
| No source names his teacher. Per this atlas's succession roster, Rav Yaakov HaKohen of Nehar Pakod held the headship of his academy during his formative window (c. 4473–4493 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.
