ASTERIIIS , See also:

bishop of See also:Amasia, in See also:Pontus, c. 400. He was partly contemporary with the See also:emperor See also:Julian (d. 363) and lived to a See also:great See also:age. His fame rests chiefly on his Homilies, which were much esteemed in the Eastern See also:Church. Most of these have been lost, but twenty-one are given in full by See also:Migne (See also:Patrol. See also:Ser. Gr. xl. 164-477), and there are fragments of others in See also:Photius (See also:Cod. 271). Asterius was a See also:man of much culture, and his See also:works are a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the See also:history of See also:preaching.
