Gaon of Pumbedita from 771 to 773. The only fact known concerning him is that, with Ḥaninai Kahana ben Huna (765-775), he opposed Naá¹ronai ben Ḥabibai, who, for unknown reasons, endeavored to supplant the exilarch Zakkai ben Aḥunai; the two geonim succeeded in compelling Naá¹ronai to leave Babylonia. Naá¹ronai probably settled in Kairwan.
