Entry 1023 • Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim

Rabbi Horcanus, the son of Rabbi Eliezer ben Horcanus [Menachot (35a)], his father and his grandfather were great sages. And on Shabbat, in the section of Chaviyot [(Kiddushin 137a)], he went out with a sudar on his shoulder on Shabbat, except that it was wrapped around his finger. And in the Tosefta, chapter 5 of Shabbat, and in the Mishnah, chapter on the laws of Chalitzah [(Kiddushin 106b)], Rabbi Horcanus said in the village of Eitam.

And in Sanhedrin (68a), it is mentioned that Horcanus entered to remove his father's tefillin on Erev Shabbat, and his father rebuked him. And in the Jerusalem Talmud, Shabbat, chapter 2, Mishnah [2].
