The Rashbash wrote in Yuchsin] that he was not from the sons of the Rabbanan but from Tiberias, and Rav Mevasser Gaon ordained him without the Rabbanan in the Metivta, not that they were worthy of the Gaonut after Gaon Abuna, but the rights belonged to Mar Rav Amram the brother of his mother, the head of the Kallah, and Mar Rav Aharon jumped upon it and was very bold, and immediately Mar Rav Amram was pushed aside and went away, and after that many marvels occurred upon it, etc.
