Satyrus

Saint Satyrus of Milan was the elder brother of Saint Ambrose of Milan and of Saint Marcellina, a man of the law, honoured for his justice and generosity. He was born around 331 at Trier, grew up in Rome and studied law. He became prefect of a Roman province, but left the post when his brother was chosen bishop of Milan, in order to manage the worldly affairs of his brother's household and see.

He reposed suddenly at Milan, in 376 by some sources and in 378 by others. At his burial Ambrose delivered the discourse "On the Death of His Brother Satyrus", praising his integrity, sense of justice and generosity. The church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro in Milan recalls his name. He is commemorated on 17 September, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
