Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai [and in Pesachim (8b) Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai. And in Baba Batra (10a) Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai.] was a student of Rabbi Meir, who in Avot, chapter 3, states in the name of Rabbi Meir. [And in Mishnah, chapter 5 of Eruvin (58a) in the name of Rabbi Meir. And in Vayikra Rabbah, chapter 17, Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai in the name of Rabbi Meir. And this matter is mentioned in Yalkut Tehillim, section 73, Rabbi Dostai in the name of Rabbi Yanai in the name of Rabbi Meir is a typographical error.] And in the first chapter of Gittin [(14b)] they sent to Nehardea, he and Rabbi Yosi ben Kifrah, and Rabbi Achai ben Yoshiyah said to them [(there)] to collect his debt there [there and in the Jerusalem Talmud, first chapter of Gittin and in the chapter HaOmer (64a)].

In the last chapter of the Mishnah, they asked Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai why a man returns to a woman, etc., and this Rabbi Yanai is not the teacher of Rabbi Yochanan since his son Dostai is a Tanna. And in the first chapter of Kiddushin [(12a)] Isar the Italian, Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai and Rabbi Oshaya estimated, etc., [however, the version before us is Rabbi Dostai and Rabbi Yanai and Rabbi Oshaya, as it is mentioned there two times.

And it is to be questioned regarding his version because Rabbi Oshaya was in the time of Rabbi and Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai was in the days of Rabbi Meir, and indeed Rabbi Meir was also in the days of Rabbi (there). And in the Jerusalem Talmud, at the end of Demai, Rabbi Abahu said they disagree, Rabbi and Rabbi Dostai bar Rabbi Yanai. According to Rabbi Eliezer, Tosefta Shabbat, chapter 15, his burial is in Akbara, see Rabbi Yanai.]
