אבא בר מרתא

Abba bar Marta, who is Abba bar Meniomi [(Gittin (37b) Yevamot (120a) they would bring him coins to Rabbi Gamliel, and a certain coin stuck to his garment on his forehead, he passed before them and they did not recognize him). And in Gittin (37b) he paid for Rabba during the Shemitah year, and for this reason they exempted the Rosh Galuta from the funds (which he was obligated to Rabbi Gamliel, according to) that he was a student of the Rabbis, as stated in the chapter "Kach" (Kiddushin 121b) they would bring him coins to Rabbi Gamliel, and they were causing him distress, and there was saliva on the ground on Shabbat, they brought a vessel to carry it away, he said to them, "You do not need it," etc.

They said, "He is a student of the Rabbis," and they left him alone. In Moed Katan (26b) he went to comfort Rabba's mourner and said to him, "Rabba, how can this student of the Rabbis be without understanding?" In Yoma (84a) a mad dog bit him and his mother collected a debt of gold from him. He asked Abaye about an egg (Beitzah 22a). And Meniomi was a colleague of Rav Nachman during the time of Rabba.

Rabbi Abahu and Rabbi Yitzchak Naphcha and Abba bar Meniomi and Rabbi Chanina bar Pappa and Rav Safra. Rabba said that Rav Safra was strict with three Rabbis who were ordained. Rav Ashi said, "In what way was he strict?" Gittin (29b). And it is difficult, for Rav Ashi was born when Rabba died, and perhaps Rav Ashi spoke about this matter that Rabba said previously, but the language of Rashi "Rav Ashi said to Rabba" implies that Rav Ashi spoke to Rabba, and perhaps there is a typographical error in Rashi, and it should be "Rav Ashi said." (And perhaps he lived a long life, as he was in the time of Rabbi Yitzchak Naphcha, who was in the generation of Rabbi Yochanan and R' Eliezer, and he was also in the time of Abaye and Rabba).
