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