Rab Achah from Hutzal [had made a vow regarding his wife] came before Rav Ashi [Kritot (13b). He said to Ravina regarding the egg (Baba Kamma (32b))]. At the end of Ketubot, in Babylonia, the pains of the Messiah are not seen; it is translated as Hutzal. And Hutzal is near Nehardea, and there Ezra the scribe established a sanctuary, and there is also Hutzal of Benjamin, which is surrounded by a wall from the days of Yehoshua. [(See above, Rav Ashi from Hutzal)]:
