Ammonius of Alexandria (Christian philosopher)
Ammonius of Alexandria (Neoplatonist philosopher, also from Alexandria.
Life
Ammonian Sections, now known as the Eusebian Canons.[2]
Eusebius attacks Porphyry for saying that Ammonius apostatized early in his life and left no writings behind him, but Eusebius was presumably confusing Ammonius with the Neoplatonist of the same name.
Ammonius developed the forerunner of modern
Ammonian Sections in which he started with the text of Matthew and copied along parallel events.[3] However there are no extant copies of the harmony of Ammonius and it is only known from a single reference in the letter of Eusebius to Carpianus.[3]
