Commentary for Berakhot 55:16
ר' זירא כי הוה חליש מגירסיה הוה אזיל ויתיב אפתחא דבי ר' נתן בר טובי אמר כי חלפי רבנן אז איקום מקמייהו ואקבל אגרא נפק אתא ר' נתן בר טובי א"ל מאן אמר הלכה בי מדרשא א"ל הכי א"ר יוחנן אין הלכה כר' יהודה דאמר מתפלל אדם של מוסף ואח"כ מתפלל של מנחה
When R. Zera was weary of study, he used to go and sit at the entrance of the school of R. Nathan b. Tobi saying, "When the Rabbis pass by, I will stand up before them and receive the reward" He once went out ; and when R. Nathan b. Tobi came he asked him, "Who is stating the Halakah in the House of Study?" He replied, "Thus spake R. Johanan : The Halakah is not according to R. Judah who said , 'He should first recite the additional Tefillah and afterwards that of the afternoon'."

What follows is uncertain, and there are many variants. D. S. prefers the reading of the Soncino edition : "Who stated the Halakah in the House of Study?" He replied, "R. Johanan." He asked him, "What was it?" He replied, "One says the afternoon Tefillah and afterwards the additional." R. Zera asked him.
