Comment: Discipline is unknown. Either periodoneikes or pleistoneikes. Ammonios placed the remains of his coach in his family grave to thank him for his efforts. Named xystarch of Alexandria. Gouw suggests he is the same person as Ammonios, the 'bouleutes' of Hermoupolis or the victorious Alexandrian in Athens, Ephesos and Smyrna (Gouw).
