Tuvya Marcus asks:
Are these the same that went to visit before he died? I remember that Rebbi Akiva was one of them.
and - where was that ma'aseh ?

The Kollel replies:

The Gemara in Sanhedrin (101a) lists four Zekeinim who went to visit Rebbi Eliezer before he died. Rebbi Tarfon, Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah and Rebbi Akiva - the same as here. But in place of Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili, it lists Rebbi Yehoshua Incidentally, the Gemara in Gitin is on Daf 81a, not 88b.
