פירוש על עבודה זרה 57:14

There are two sages with very similar names—R. Malkio and R. Malkiah. How does a young yeshiva student avoid confusion? R. Hanina provides a list, and R. Papa a rule—all statements made in reference to a mishnah (or baraita) are R. Malkiah, whose name sounds closer to “queen.” There is one real difference between them. R. Hanina says that R. Malkio made the statement about the maid-servants, whereas R. Papa says that it was R. Malkiah. Oy, this is really making me dizzy!
