Martyrologium Hieronymianum notes the feast of Asterius in Ostia on 19 October (Quentin, Delehaye 1931: 562; according to the Gesta Callisti Asterius was thrown to Tiber on 14 October, his body was found 20 October in Ostia, and buried on 21 October).
The phrase in loco presbyterii qui iuxta sepulturam is corrupted. Canellis corrected it by adding est between qui and sepulturam, and according her text, Macarius was buried in the sanctuary near the tomb of the martyr. Günther (1895: 29) obelized the phrase, but in the critical apparatus conjectured: in loco presbyterii iustam sepulturam, it would mean that he provided a "just", worthy tomb in the church instead of the unworthy (indignus) burial in the old tomb.
