Convert from Arianism, bishop of Petra, Jordan. Asterius was attacked at the Council of Sardica in 347 for denouncing the Arian heresy and was exiled to Libya by the pro-Arian Emperor Constantius TI. In 362, Emperor Julian the Apostate restored him, and he attended the Council of Alexandria, Egypt. Asterius was named the delegate of this council to bear a letter to the Church of Antioch, where he provided leaders with a report of the proceedings. He died in Petra soon after.
