רב ביבי בן אביי

Rabbi Bibi ben Abayi, in the commentary of Rabbi Chaim on Chapter 1, states that the word "HaMenuna" is pointed with a tzere (צֵירֵי) and a chirik (חִירִיק), and in the Aruch it is pointed with a tzere and a kamatz (קָמַץ). He is a Kohen from the lineage of Eli, and Rabbi Pappa referred to him [(and thus it is in the Aruch, but it should be Pappi)] as "Mimulai" [(in Bava Kamma (99a), Yevamot (58b), Ketubot (5a), Eruvin (25b), and Bava Metzia (99a), Rabbi Pappi said)] because you came from Mimulai, I said words of great significance. [And in Bava Batra (137b, 101a), Rabbi Huna bar Rabbi Yehoshua said to him because you came from Mimulai, the Peshat of the B'M there is that he cursed him, thus it is written.

In Eruvin (51b), there is a story about the people of Beit Miml]. And in the Aruch, the entry for "Mimale" means to fill a place, as it is stated in Bereishit Rabbah [(Pineh 19)] that Rabbi Meir went to fill and saw them with black heads, etc. He said, "Perhaps you are from Eli." [And it is puzzling, for Rabbi Pappi called him "Mar," as Rashi explains in Chulin (43b), and how did he curse him? According to Rashi in Eruvin, it is cut off, and in Bava Metzia, Rashi explains it as like a small hill, it is difficult.

And see Tosafot in Yevamot and Ketubot in Rashi, there are several explanations.

Therefore, it appears according to the explanation of the Gaon in the Aruch, the entry for "Mal" the seventh, that this was said about a great person because he speaks great things (and see Shlah and Beit Yehuda). And the Mahar Ram'a wrote that he transmits according to what our sages said in Zevachim and Menachot that one does not atone, but one atones through words of Torah; therefore, it is fitting to be particularly careful to rectify the blemish.

He sought to complete all the sections on the day of Yom Kippur in Berakhot (8b), see Aruch, entry for "Kol." And he sought to see demons and was harmed, and they prayed for him, and he was healed, Berakhot (6a). And it was common for him to be with the Angel of Death, and he told him what was before him for a long time, that he sent messengers to bring me Miriam, etc. "Bring me Miriam from the tower of the children," Chagigah (4b), and in Ein Yaakov, Rabbi Dimi bar Abayi is a typographical error.

Rabbi Bibi ben Abayi asked, etc. Rabbi Kahana said, "Isn't this what Rami bar Chama said?" Rabbi Bibi ben Abayi said, "And if you come and go," Eruvin (90a). Rabbi Acha bar Ika in his name. Rabbi Acha bar Rava in his name.

He said to Rabbi Huna bar Rabbi Yehoshua, Sanhedrin (66b) and above. The mother of Rabbi Zutri bar Tovi came before him. Teach me, Rabbi Chiya bar Rabbi from Difta. Rabbi Kahana (above) said to Rabbi Nachman bar Yitzchak, Berakhot (6b), he said to him, "Raba bar Ula, Rabbi."
