tradition | ★★★★☆ | |
| No source names his teacher. Per this atlas's succession roster, Rav Chananya bar Mesharshiya and Rav Dodai bar Nachman held the headship of his academy during his formative window (c. 4510–4530 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.
