Wikipedia description:
Honi HaMe'agel (Hebrew: חוני המעגל, romanized: Ḥōnī hamMəʿaggēl, lit. 'Honi the circler') was a 1st-century BC Jewish scholar prior to the age of the tannaim, the scholars from whose teachings the Mishnah was derived. During this period, a variety of religious movements and splinter groups developed amongst the Jews in Judea. Several individuals claimed to be miracle workers in the tradition of Elijah and Elisha, the ancient Jewish prophets. The Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds both provide examples of such Jewish miracle workers, including Honi, such as in Jerusalem Talmud Taanit 3:10, 66d and Babylonian Talmud Taanit 19a; 23a.
