We show that, for most of the elliptic curves $\text{E}$ over a prime finite field ${{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}$ of $p$ elements, the discriminant $D\left( E \right)$ of the quadratic number field containing the endomorphism ring of $\text{E}$ over ${{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}$ is sufficiently large. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct quadratic number fields generated by the endomorphism rings of all elliptic curves over ${{\mathbb{F}}_{p}}$.
