Remarkably and unusually, the Oxoford Reference disambiguates Ammonius of Athens from the Jewish-Greek surname of Ammonius Saccas, indicating that the first has not "to be confused with an earlier Ammonius, who taught Plutarch". So war, the philosopher may be disambiguated even here. The discipleship of Plutarch doesn't allow to identify both of them with a unique person, given that the second is said to be flourished in the 3rd century.

For both of them the exact date and place of birth are unknown, as if they were a unique ange (obiously, this is nothing more than joke for analogue cases).Theologian81sp (talk) 14:59, 8 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
