		It has been suggested that Eusebius confuses him with another Ammonius, his contemporary and also an Alexandrian who was the editor of a Diatessaron giving the gospel according to St. Matthew with parallel passages from the other gospels, the basis of what afterwards were known as the Ammonian sections.
		As to Ammonius' teaching, Hierocles (apud Photius) says that he endeavoured to reconcile Plato and Aristotle, but that was the aim of all the later Alexandrians.
		Ammonius was a pupil of ProcIus and compiled a commentary on the Isagoge of Porphyry which became the standard Greek authority and was afterwards adopted by the Nestorians.

	AMMONIUS SACCAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		According to Porphyry and Proclus, Ammonius Saccas was a Christian who converted to paganism after becoming acquainted with Greek philosophy; Eusebius and Jerome fought against this view as slanderous, stated that Ammonius Saccas never renounced Christianity, and said that those who could not forgive him for being a Christian said he was an apostate.
		Ammonius is regarded as the founder of a neo-Platonic school and among his students we find mention of Origen, Longinus, Herennius, Plotinus, and others.
		Ammonius Saccas left no works behind; his views are known only from later authors, especially from the writings of Hierocles, Nemesius, Eusebius, and Porphyry.

	Newman Reader - Arians of the 4th Century - Chapter 1-4
		Ammonius, the contemporary of Potamo, and virtually the founder of the Eclectic sect, was born of {102} Christian parents, and educated as a Christian in the catechetical institutions of Alexandria, under the superintendence of Clement or Pantænus.
		The doctrine which Ammonius professed to discover in the Church, and to reclaim from the Christians, was employed by the Arian as if the testimony of the early Fathers to the truth of the heretical view which he was maintaining.
		Her instructor in the Greek language, the celebrated Longinus, had been the pupil of Ammonius, and was the early master of Porphyry, the most bitter opponent of Christianity that issued from the Eclectic school.

	Ammonius Saccas
		Ammonius Saccas (3rd century AD) was a Greek philosopher from Alexandria who was often referred to as the founder of the Neoplatonism.
		For this man, having been a hearer of Ammonius, who had attained the greatest proficiency in philosophy of any in our day, derived much benefit from his teacher in the knowledge of the sciences; but as to the correct choice of life, he pursued a course opposite to his.
		The death of Ammonius Saccus also known as Ammonius of Alexandria and Ammonius the Christian and Neoplatonist, is variously given as between AD 240 and AD 245 at a great age.

	ISP/RFIL - Jean-Michel Charrue
		It is in Nemesius that we see the strength of Ammonius’ thought on the soul, which remains unchanged, in spite of its union, making man that being apart; Priscian held the same view; and no confusion with Plotinus arises.
		In Photius, Ammonius appears as he who has become aware, who has simplified philosophy, by making it a tree with pruned branches, and by introducing the One, the Intellect and the Soul, set in motion the two branches of Neoplatonism: that of Plotinus and that of Proclus.
		With Photius also (461a) we can presume that the teaching of Ammonius was that of a method uniting Plato to the aporias of Aristotle and their solution, which will form the bones of Plotinus’ treatises.

	"The Eclectic Philosophy" by Alexander Wilder (New Platonism)
		Ammonius Saccas, the great teacher, who would seem to have been raised up for the work of reconciling the different systems, was a native of Alexandria, and the son of Christian parents, although associating much with those who adhered to the established religion of the empire.
		Ammonius declared that the system of doctrine and moral life, denominated Wisdom, was taught in the Books of Thoth, or Hermes Trismegistus, from which records Pythagoras as well as Plato derived his philosophy.
		Ammonius accepted the doctrine of the Books of Hermes, that from the Divine All proceeded the Divine Wisdom or Amun; that from Wisdom proceeded the Demiurge or Creator; and from the Creator, the subordinate spiritual beings; the world and its peoples being the last.

	20th WCP: The Doctrine of the Indefinite Terms in the Ancient Commentators of Aristotle
		Actually, for Ammonius and Boethius, Aristotle considers as a well-formed proposition one in which the subject or the predicate, or both, are indefinite, and they explain that Aristotle in the beginning of Chapter 10 (19b.
		However, he is clear enough to suggest that Aristotle's theory is not ambiguous: it produces not only one and only one negation for affirmation, but also it defines all the cases that are not negation of a given proposition.
		Accordingly, in Ammonius' and Boethius' view, expressions like 'does not recover' lose legitimately presence in propositions due to the very syntactical structure of the simple proposition and the nature of the indefinite verb.

	Great Theosophists--Ammonius Saccas (9 of 29)

		The third object that Ammonius had in view was to make the study of philosophy a living power in the lives of his students.
		The aim and purpose of Ammonius was to reconcile all sects, peoples and nations under one common faith -- a belief in one Supreme Eternal Unknown and Unnamed Power which governs the universe by immutable and eternal laws.

		And it was here, in protest against the superficiality of life in general, and the hollowness of much that was expounded as truth, that Ammonius founded his school in which he demanded of his disciples the highest reverence for truth.
		Ammonius, in accord with the archaic practice of the Mystery-schools (even though in his time they had become very much degraded), exacted a solemn vow from his disciples never to commit to writing what they would learn.
		As Porphyry, the beloved pupil of Plotinus records it, as soon as he heard Ammonius, he exclaimed: "This is the man I have been seeking." So he stayed on with him some ten or eleven years, and it is said that he too attained moments of union with his Father within.

	George E. Karamanolis - Plato and Aristotle in Agreement? Platonists on Aristotle From Antiochus to Porphyry - Reviewed ...
		As the author concedes, in the cases of Numenius and Ammonius, we know almost nothing; for Antiochus, we are better served, though almost entirely by the unsystematic testimony of Cicero; as for Porphyry, we know little more than that he wrote an entire book (or two) on the subject, alas, not extant.
		Ammonius Saccas, the teacher of Plotinus, is a philosopher whose thought is virtually unknown to us, but for one tantalizing fact.
		In this light, Ammonius had no difficulty in maintaining that Aristotle was an adherent of this position, even if his version of the first principle -- the Prime Unmoved Mover -- was inadequate owing to its internal complexity.

	Being a Clear Exposition
		The immediate disciples of Ammonius Saccas, who was called Theodidaktos, "god-taught"―such as Plotinus and his follower Porphyry―rejected theurgy at first, but were finally reconciled to it through Iamblichus, who wrote a work to that effect entitled "De Mysteriis," under the name of his own master, a famous Egyptian priest called Abammon.

		Ammonius, it cannot be doubted, held, as modern Theosophists hold, the great doctrine of the fundamental unity of all religions.
