Palestinian amora of the fourth generation (3d and 4th cent.). Ḥiyya is mentioned only in the Jerusalem Talmud; he was the pupil of R. Jonah and R. Jose (Yer. Sheb. 6:1; Yer. Ket. 9:1; Yer. Sanh. 1:2; et al.). Ḥiyya transmitted, in the name of R. Levi, the following haggadah: "Psalm 62:10 proves that a man's wife is chosen for him before his birth" (Pesiḳ. 23:153b). This haggadah reappears in Lev. R. 29:7, as transmitted by Ḥiyya b. Abba in the name of R. Levi, but this is evidently a copyist's mistake. A certain Rabbi b. Meria who transmitted a haggadah (Pesiḳ. R. 40 [ed. Friedmann, p. 172a]) is supposed by Buber (note 58 to Pesiḳ. 153b) to be the same as R. Ḥiyya b. Meria.
