Satyrus

Saint Satyrus, hierarch, was the first bishop of Arezzo in Tuscany, around 304 according to tradition, and according to the diptychs of the chapter archive of the city he would have died in 353. There is no other secure information about him; only medieval hagiographies of little reliability survive. The Catholic Encyclopedia says that Arezzo became a bishopric around 304 under Saint Satyrus, and that his successor, Saint Donatus, is patron of the cathedral of Saint Peter. He is venerated by the Catholic Church of Arezzo as the initiator of the Christian faith in the city, on 19 August (new style). He should not be confused with Satyrus of Milan, brother of Saint Ambrose.
