V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| The formula אמר רב פפי משמיה דרבא appears 13 times across the Bavli in this atlas's mining — in-the-name-of transmission, which carries no reception edge by itself. | rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| No source dates Rav Papi directly; the AM span shown is a schematic reconstruction anchored to Rava's school, whose rulings he transmits.
Schematic generational placement, not an attested date. A dated attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
