So really no proof at all from there that he was poor. | |

An answer doesn't *need* to be directly sourced.

| Apr 30, 2012 at 22:49 | comment | added | Alex | A fifth possibility: maybe this story happened before R. Akiva himself had returned from his 24 years of study and reconciled with Ben Kalba Savua. (I've seen a suggestion that R. Yehoshua was R. Akiva's son from his first marriage - there is a source that describes the two of them going to cheder together at the beginning. So R. Yehoshua could have been close to 30 years old before the lean years were over.) | |
| Apr 30, 2012 at 22:36 | comment | added | Alex | For your possibility #3, note that according to one version recorded in Kesubos 50a, R. Akiva himself objected to his colleague R. Yesheivav doing so. | |
