Baring-Gould’s sources: Modem Roman Martyrology, and the Milanese Martyrology. Authority: — An oration by S. Ambrose, his brother, on the death and burial of Satyrius.J We have S. Bernard’s touching sermon on the death of his brother Gerard; we have also the oration delivered by the great Ambrose of Milan under similar circumstances, when Satyrius, his brother, was consigned to the tomb. Satyrius was bom between 330 and 340; he was oldei than Ambrose, and younger than his sister Marcellina. He was a lawyer — one of the rare instances of a lawyer who has got into the martyrology— afterwards prefect, of what province we are not told, but probably of Liguria, for S. Ambrose speaks of him as if they had been together all the while he was bishop of Milan. Satyrius does not seem to have been baptized till after he was nearly shipwrecked on his way to Africa, and then he received the sacrament of regeneration when he saw how near he had been to death without having become a Christian. Business seems to have called him several times to Africa. He died in 392, or at the beginning of 393. S. Ambrose speaks highly of the purity of soul of Satyrius, of his moderation, his tenderness towards others.
