16:1
Ἔνθα καὶ Ἀστύριος ἐπὶ τῇ θεοφιλεῖ παρρησίᾳ μνημονεύεται, ἀνὴρ τῶν ἐπὶ Ρώμης συγκλητικῶν γενόμενος, βασιλεῦσί τε προσφιλὴς, καὶ πᾶσι γνώριμος εὐγενείας τε ἕνεκα καὶ περιουσίας· ὃς παρὼν τηνικάδε τελειουμένῳ τῷ μάρτυρι, τὸν ὦμον ὑποθεὶς, ἐπὶ λαμπρᾶς καὶ πολυτελοῦς ἐσθῆτος ἄρας τὸ σκήνωμα ἐπιφέρεται, περιστείλας τε εὑ μάλα πλουσίως τῇ προσηκούσῃ ταφῇ παραδίδωσι. τούτου μυρία μὲν καὶ ἄλλα μνημονεύουσιν οἱ τἀνδρὸς καὶ εἰς ἡμᾶς διαμείναντες γνώριμοι,
在那裡也記載了亞司提利烏，是因他那蒙神喜悅的膽量——這人是羅馬元老階級的，蒙眾皇帝寵愛，又因出身高貴與富有而為眾人所知；他在那殉道者得成全之時在場，便用肩膀承在屍身之下，將之扛在自己光鮮貴重的衣袍上抬走，又極豐厚地把它殯殮，交付合宜的安葬。關於此人，那些認識他、直到如今還存留的人，也述說了無數別的事。
There too is recorded Astyrius, on account of his God-pleasing boldness—a man who was of the senatorial order at Rome, dear to the emperors, and known to all for his nobility and wealth; who, being present at the time when the martyr was perfected, putting his shoulder under it, took up the body upon his bright and costly raiment and bore it away, and having laid it out very richly, delivered it to fitting burial. Of this man his acquaintances, who have remained even unto us, relate countless other things as well.
