He is venerated as a saint ; his feast day is July 3rd . Liberius is considered to be his successor in the episcopate.

- Martin Weisspacher: Superfluous holy Petrine = year. That is Kurtze life = description of those / so in the venerable Petrine or world = priest = status / from the first marriage / bit to the highest dignity lived holy / and shone with heartfelt miracles = signs.
