Entry 10 • Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim

Rabbi Abba the Kohen, son of Pappa, was before Rabbi Yosi bar Zvida. [Tanchuma, Beha'alotcha. When he saw a group of people, he took another path so as not to trouble them to stand before him. And Rabbi Yosef bar Zvida said to him, "You need to pass before them so that they will stand before you." According to what is stated in Yichusim, Shmuel, the colleague of Rabbi, the son of Abba bar Abba the Kohen, had a son named Rav Pappa; perhaps this Abba is his son and is named after his grandfather.]
