Huna bar Chijja
Rab Huna bar Chijja (also Huna bar Chija ) was a 3rd generation Amora in Babylonia and lived and worked at the end of the third / beginning of the fourth century AD.
He was a student and (according to Scherira Gaon ) successor of Rabbi Judah as head of the academy in Pumbedita and also handed down Halachot of Ulla and Huna .
Rabba and Rab Josef came to him to learn Halacha from him, but refrained from doing so when they heard that he had become a "royal official".
