בייתוס בן זונין

Entry 715 • Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim

Baytus ben Zunin [(in the name of) Rabbi Avraham ben Avraham, he made his field according to Rabbi Avraham in Megillah (27b), Erchin (31a), Bava Metzia, chapter Anan in the Mishnah (65b), and in chapter 3 of the treatise of Sofrim he acted according to Rabbi Avraham. And in the Jerusalem Talmud, Pesachim, chapter Kol Sha'ah, halacha 4, he asked Rabbi Gamliel and the sages in Yavneh. And at the end of Pesachim in the Tosefta, Rabbi Gamliel and the elders were in his house.

Rabbi Yehuda said that Baytus ben Zunin asked the sages in Pesachim (37a). And in the Jerusalem Talmud, in the chapter of the one who takes out wine, chapter 8, halacha 6, Rabbi Yehuda said that Baytus ben Zunin was sitting and studying before Rabbi. And we find Zunin before Rabbi and before Rabbi Gamliel and Rabbi Akiva.

Therefore, there were two Baytuses and two Zunins. And in the case of the field, it appears that Baytus ben Zunin, who was in the time of Rabbi Avraham, was a priest who was brought among the priests.]
