To: Its All Over Except ...; Phinneous
Note also Phinneous - The Gemara (or Babylonian) Talmud commentaries on the Mishna (the earlier written collection of Jewish oral Talmudic traditions) were composed by the Sanhedrin in exile sometime around the sixth century, while the older Mishna Talmud (or Jerusalem Talmud) was completed around the fourth century.

On the Oral Law (codified as the Mishna) How can it have been transmitted:
