Biography

Rav Shimi of Chozna was an amora, known from a small number of statements brought in the Gemara. He appears in tractate Makkot, where he addresses a difficulty concerning a case that would otherwise fall under the principle that one liable to the more severe punishment is exempt from the lesser, explaining the matter through a case where the woman had accepted kiddushin from another.

He is also cited in tractate Pesachim, where he explains a teaching about the cosmetic preparation used by the daughters of the wealthy, noting that they would leave over part of it for the benefit of the daughters of the poor.

רב שימי מחוזנאה הוא אמורא בבלי שהתגורר בעיר מחוזא, בדור הרביעי לאמוראי בבל, בדורם של אביי ורבא.
