The stele was published by Revillout, 'Mélanges d’épigraphie et de linguistique égyptienne', 188.Discussion
The identity of this Ammonios, the martyr, is uncertain. He might be the Ammonios mentioned by Eusebius (E00318) and in the 411 Syriac Martyrology (E01548) as a companion martyr of the much better attested *Phaustos (presbyter and martyr of Alexandria, S00299).Bibliography
