V. How do we know
| Claim | Evidence | Confidence | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| His chains in the Bavli transmit Rav (3 occurrences in this atlas's mining), Rabbi Elazar ben Pedat (3), and Reish Lakish (3). | rabbinic | ★★★★★ | |
| No source dates Rabbi Il'a directly; the AM span shown is a schematic reconstruction anchored to the generation of Rabbi Yochanan's students, whose teachings he transmits.
Schematic generational placement, not an attested date. A dated attestation, if one can be verified, should supersede this.
