for precision rather than for quantity. He is only cited in the Talmud in connection with halakhah, while no aggadah appears in his name. Dimi b. Nehemiah (Nahman) b. Joseph A Babylonian amora of uncertain age, only rarely cited in rabbinical literature. He is probably identical with Avdimi b. Nehuniah, by whom the Psalmist's effusion, "I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well," is illustrated thus: "Some things are beneficial to the liver and deleterious to the windpipe; others are beneficial to the latter and deleterious to the former. There are ten organs in man: the windpipe [larynx] produces voice; the gullet conducts the food; the liver is the seat of anger; the lungs promote thirst; the gall, jealousy; the stomach, sleep; the first stomach grinds the food; the spleen promotes laughter; the kidneys counsel; and the heart decides. Therefore David glorifies, 'I will praise you..." Therefore, too, he elsewhere exhorts, 'Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name'".
