except that bald head'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' R. Akiba, R. Joshua b. Korha mentioned in various places in the Talmud being the same person as the son of Akiba, and the word Korha meaning bald head. Tosaf. comment that it is not conceivable that Ben 'Azzai would thus refer to a great Sage like R. Akiba, the term bald head being employed in many cases in an abusive sense. Tosaf. therefore say that the word Korha refers to R. Eleazar b. Azariah, concerning whom it jre is said in the Jerushalmi that he was bald headed. Rabbenu Tam says that ('bald-head') was the name of a man.');">²⁷</span>
