Ammon was an Egyptian ascetic. For fourteen years he labored and prayed to God only to conquer anger within himself. He attained such perfection of goodness that he was no longer conscious that evil existed in the world. A particular expert in Holy Scripture. He reposed at the beginning of the fifth century.
