Entry 724 • Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim

Ben Bukhari testified in Yavneh, and Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai said to him, "In the first chapter of Shekalim and in the chapter of Techelet [(Mishnah 46b) and in the chapter of Kometz (21b) and in Eruvin (4a)]. The Yuchsin brought the letter 'K', and in the name of the Aruch it is explained there as 'a person makes a sieve', and I did not find in the Aruch, and the reading in the Aruch is 'Ben Kubri', which explains there as 'a person'.

And in all the aforementioned places, Bukhari is with a 'Beit'."
