Palestinian scholar of the third century junior of Joshua b. Levi and senior of Simon b. Pazzi (Cant. R. 1:1 ). He confined his labors to the Haggadah, and contributed to the Midrash several homilies, some of which, however, are given under different names in other compilations. One of his sayings was: "Four great languages have been given to the world: Greek for song, Aramaic for dirges, Hebrew for conversation, Latin for war" (Yer. Meg. 1:71b comp. Esth. R. 4:6 Midr. Teh. 31:21 ).
