Ammonius of Alexandria, also Ammon, Ammonios, Ammun, gr. Ἀμμώνιος, (3rd century) - Christian philosopher and theologian. He lived in Alexandria today with Origen, who was probably a pupil. Eusebius of Caesarea is mentioned in the History of the Ecclesiastic, as well as Jerome in De Viris Illustribus, where he is mistakenly identified with Ammonius Sakkas, neoplatonic, also from Alexandria. He wrote, among other things, the work of Jesus' agreement with Moses, in which he most likely portrays the unity of the Old and New Testaments, negated by a large part of the Gnostic sects.
Until the nineteenth century, he was considered the author of Diatessarion and the author of dividing the text of the four Gospels into 1165 periphery, referred to as the "Ammonius section", to show the similarities and differences between the Gospels: 355 for the Gospel of Matthew, 235 for the Gospel of Mark, 343 for Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John. Today, this is usually questioned, and division is usually attributed to Eusebius of Caesarea.
