Veneration
On 11 January 460 his body was buried in the Cathedral of Atella, where it remained until 787, when, following the incursions of the Longobards, it was moved to the city of Salerno, where it still rests in the crypt of the Cathedral of St. Matthew.In 1958 archbishop Demetrio Moscato wanted to carry out a canonical exhumation and reconnaissance of the mortal remains of the saints buried in the crypt of the Salerno cathedral, properly under the "Altar of the Holy Confessors". Among the other relics were also found those of the three saints: Elpidius Bishop of Atella, Cionius presbyter and Elpicius deacon, placed there by archbishop Alfano I in March 1081, as is clearly stated in a marble inscription.
