From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rabbinical Eras

Gamaliel IV (probably late 3rd Century CE) was the son of the nasi Judah II, and father of Judah III.

In the Jerusalem Talmud there is a story of Gamaliel's humility, when he was asked a question about the law by Abbahu, Gamaliel speaks of his own ignorance in comparison with Abbahu. Hoshaiah is said to have prevented Gamaliel from introducing into Syria a ruling referring to the tithing of crops.
