She took special care of the education of her children, and Ambrose profited much by her instructions, and by the domestic examples which she, his sister, and other holy virgins that were with them, set him.

Satyrus died soon after his return to Milan, in the arms of St. Ambrose and St. Marcellina, and left his wealth to be disposed of by them without making a will.

Satyrus had in his earlier years, as well as St. Ambrose, practised as an advocate, and held office.
But when his brother was appointed Bishop of Milan, Satyrus at once gave up his appointment, and devoted his life to managing St. Ambrose’s secular affairs, that nothing might distract him from his episcopal duties.
The grief of St. Ambrose at the loss of his absolutely like-minded brother was intense, and to it we owe the exquisite discourse delivered at the funeral of Satyrus, and the second, on the resurrection, delivered a week later.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ambrose
He was the youngest of three children, being preceded by a sister, Marcellina, who become a nun, and a brother Satyrus, who, upon the unexpected appointment of Ambrose to the episcopate, resigned a prefecture in order to live with him and relieve him from temporal cares.
The self-devotion of his brother, Satyrus, relieved him from the care of the temporalities, and enabled him to attend exclusively to his spiritual duties.
His work on the death (378) of his brother Satyrus (De excessu fratris sui Satyri) contains his funeral sermon on his brother, one of the earliest of Christian panegryics and a model of the consolatory discourses that were henceforth to take the place of the cold and inept declamations of the Stoics.

 Arsinoe, mother of Ptolemy I
Evidently Satyrus was a contemporary of Ptolemy IV.
So the picture presented in the genealogy of Satyrus, that she was the daughter of a minor branch of the royal family, is eminently plausible, if not directly verifiable.
9ff., argues that the name is historical, noting that Satyrus had clearly not provided maternal names in every generation (though all this really proves is that Satyrus was careful in respecting the limitations of his sources).

Ambrose, the youngest, and his brother Uranius Satyrus were given a traditional education in the liberal arts, and embarked on careers in the imperial civil service as advocates at the court of the praetorian prefect of Italy at Sirmium.
The miscellaneous works consist of funeral sermons for Satyrus, Valentinian II, and Theodosius, his sermon against Auxentius, hymns (the authentic number of which is debated), and a fascinating collection of some ninety-one epistles, which reveal a carefully controlled public presentation of Ambrose's political and spiritual character.
Other texts once ascribed to Ambrose are now known to be false, such as the very important series of commentaries on the Pauline epistles whose author has since Erasmus' time been dubbed "Ambrosiaster".
