Ammonios (English spelling)
A Neoplatonic philosopher active in Alexandria from the end of the 5th century to the beginning of the 6th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. Known as the "son of Hermias" to distinguish him from Ammonius Saccus. A gifted man who studied under Proclus in Athens, he is said to have been the most capable man of his time in mathematics and natural science, but the only works he has left are his commentaries on Aristotle and Polyphyreus' logic. His students included three outstanding scholars: Philoponus, Simplicius, and Damascius.

5世紀の終りから6世紀の初めにかけてアレクサンドリアで活躍した新プラトン学派の哲学者。生没年不詳。アンモニオス・サッカスと区別して〈ヘルミアスの子〉と称される。アテナイでプロクロスに学んだ逸材で,数学や自然学においては当代の最も有能な人であったといわれるが,その著作はアリストテレスとポリフュリオスの論理学についての注釈しか残っていない。その弟子にはすぐれた3人の学者,フィロポノス,シンプリキオス,ダマスキオスが輩出した。
