הרב אבא יוסי חליקופרי איש טבעון

Abba Yosi Cholikofri of Tivon was a tanna who appears to have lived in the generation of the churban. His name marks where he came from — Tivon, an ancient settlement in the lower Galil.

He is named in the Mishnah a single time, in a halacha concerning tumah that Rabbi Yehoshua brought over in his name.
