רב אויא סבא

Rab Avya the Elder and his son Rava [(concerning the error that he did not have a son named Rava)] did not come to the lectures of Rav Yosef in Pumbedita, and he sent to Rav Dimi bar Yosef, saying: "Go and inform him that Rab Avya did not come because he was weak." In the chapter of the Morning Prayer [this is not mentioned in the Jerusalem Talmud and is an error; it should be stated that Rab Avya was weak and did not come to the lectures of Rav Yosef. The next day, when he came, Abaye asked him to calm the mind of Rav Yosef, and he said to him: "Why did you not come?" He replied: "I was weak," in the chapter of the Morning Prayer (28b)].

Rab Avya encountered Rava, and his legs were weak, and he placed him on a bed and Rava was upset. He asked him questions and he answered him, and Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak said: "Blessed is HaShem who did not make me poor" [(Shabbat 46a). He asked Rav Huna, may his memory be blessed, about a bird that flew over an egg (21a). Rav asked Rava bar Rav Huna and said: "A bird that flew over is considered mundane" (Kiddushin 124b).

And it is stated that he is from Pumbedita (see the note on Rava bar Rav Avya in detail and how he erred regarding the lineage). And Rabba bar Rav Huna found Rabba bar Chana who came to Babylon and ate what was permitted to him and they said to Abaye in Pesachim (51a) and the version of Rab Avya the Elder (see there). In the name of Rav Yosef in the chapter of the Egg (Yoma 13b) Rabbi Ami said that it is mundane (Niddah 50a)].

And Rab Avya married the sister of Rami bar Pappa [in Bava Batra (100b) it is stated that he made for her a standing and sitting position. Rabbi Yosef said he erred in two matters. Abaye said he erred in this matter as well, and Rava said he erred in this matter as well. And there it simply states Rab Avya without mentioning the Elder, and because the lineage is written as Rab Avya the Elder, I did not change the order and wrote what I found.

In the chapter of Even Though (Niddah 56b) the sister of Rami bar Chama was married to Rab Avya, and she brought her ketubah before Rav Yosef, and he said to him... Abaye said... Here too Rab Avya is mentioned simply. (And it is difficult, for in Bava Batra they said he married the sister of Rami bar Pappa, and in Ketubot they said he married the sister of Rami bar Chama. It seems that they were both married to one woman because in both cases Rab Yosef and Abaye are mentioned, and thus one is a mistake, either Pappa or Chama)].

Rab Pappa spoke to Rab Avya the Elder [and he taught a lesson (Kiddushin 24b). He would remove his hand from its place when he sat before Rav Yosef in the chapter of the Barrel. Rab Avya sat (Shabbat 22a) and on the page (23) Rab Avya said... Rab Nehemiah said.

Abaye said... Rav Yosef said (Shabbat 63a, 109b). Rab Avya said... In Menachot (33) Rab Avya said "dust," thus is the version of the Aruch and the version before us is that Rab Adda said.

And Rabba bar Chanan. There (37b) it should be Rab Acha bar Rab Avya (see there). Rav Mordechai said to Rav Ashi: Rab Avya asked a question].
