was a presbyter belonging to the Arian party at Antioch without a head. By compelling Dorotheus to leave his see, Asterius took the lead, in conjunction with some neighboring bishops, in an application to the Eunomians to be received into communion with them. This negotiation broke down in consequence of the demands of the Eunomians that the condemnation of .Etus should be recalled and all abuses reformed (Philostorgius, Eccles. Hist. 10:1).
