	Initially the Nasi, Av Bais Din and Chacham all shared an equal status of honor. At one point Rabbi Shimon ben Gamlil decided that in order to establish the authority of the Nasi a differentiation had to be made so its dominance could be recognized. He established a rule that when the Nasi entered the Bais Medrash all must rise and not sit until he gave permission. When the Av Bais Din would enter only two rows of students would rise and when the Chacham would enter only one would stand.

	Rebbe Meir passed away in Asia. Before his death, Rebbe Meir requested that his body should be temporarily buried along the sea shore so the same water touching Eretz Yisroel should lap on his grave. He then instructed that a message be sent to the people of Israel saying their anointed one had died, a reference to his Smicha. He asked that they should move his body and rebury it in Eretz Yisroel in a standing position. His student followed his request and buried him in Tiberias, near the Kinneret.

	Rabbi Meir's true name was Nahori but was nicknamed Meir which means 'to illuminate', since he illuminated the eyes of the Sages with his Halachic teachings. Nahori itself can also refer to illumination, it can also come from the Aramaic term for memory since due to his teachings the Sages would remember the Halochos they had learned. During the time of Rabbi Meir there was another sage named Nahori and it could be that his name was changed to the similar meaning word Meir to differentiate between the two sages. In Aramaic he was also referred to as Misha.
