| ID | Title | E03679 | The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 15 March *Philoktemon (martyr, S00831), *Christina (martyr in Persia, S01385), and *Ammonios (possibly the monk killed in Alexandria in 415, S01541). | E04014 | Socrates, in his Ecclesiastical History (7.14), reports that in 415 Cyril of Alexandria attempted to proclaim the monk *Ammonios, who died under torture after an assault on the prefect of Egypt, a martyr under the name 'Thaumasios' (S01541). The cult proves unpopular and is forgotten. Written in Greek at Constantinople, 439/446. |
