Aaron goes to preach the gospel to the Amalekites in the city of Amulon. He finds a lot of people after the order of Nehor there. They make fun of him and he leaves. He goes to a place called Anti-Anti.
...there he found Muloki preaching the word unto them; and also Ammah and his brethren. And they contended with many about the word.
So who is this Ammah guy, and who are the brethren?
Meanwhile, Ammon is having a ton of missionary success with King Lamoni and his people. He establishes a church. Ammon decides to return home to the land of Nephi but then he hears the voice of the Lord saying, "Thou shalt not go up to the land of Nephi, for behold, the king will seek thy life; but thou shalt go to the land of aMiddoni; for behold, thy brother Aaron, and also Muloki and Ammah are in prison."
These are the only two mentions of Ammah by name in the Book of Mormon.
Answer:
Ammah (and Muloki) were righteous missionaries who were helping to preach the gospel to the Lamanites with the sons of Mosiah. I think that "his brethren" means the brothers of Ammon and Aaron, the other sons of Mosiah.
This is evidence that there were more people willing to serve missions to the Lamanite than just the sons of Mosiah.
