He lived in Pum Nahara, [1] and was head of the court there. [2]
One of his children died shortly after birth. [3] His sons seem to have been wealthy. [4]
Despite being of the same generation as Rav Papa and Huna b. Joshua, he did not study with them, though he did value their teachings. [5] He debated Rav Ashi on issues of the Halakha, [6] and called Ashi by the honorific title "Mar". [7] He was close to Rav Zevid, [8] and eulogized Zevid upon his death. [9]
The Talmud describes his death. [10]
