[2][3] Another charter, which donated villages to the monastery of Csatár, erected by Martin Gutkeled, ispán of Zala County, also refers to Macarius as bishop, but without mentioning his see.
[5] As Jesuit scholar István Katona considered at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, it is presumable that Macarius is identical with that certain Archbishop "Muchia", who appears without giving the specific archdiocese in a document in May 1142, when the privileges of Split were confirmed by the royal court in the name of the minor King Géza II of Hungary.
Nándor Knauz, Imre Szentpétery, László Koszta,[3] Attila Zsoldos[6] and – after philological and canon law considerations – Tamás Körmendi accepted Katona's claim,[7] while József Udvardy identified "Muchia" as a previously unknown Archbishop of Kalocsa.
Macarius appeared as a witness both times on the occasion of the last testaments of lady Színes or Scines (the first preserved such document made by a woman in Hungary) and hospes Fulco, who served different prelates for decades as a secular clergyman.
[9] Macarius' name also appears in an undated royal charter, when Géza II returned the privilege of the imposition of duty near Győr to the Pannonhalma Abbey.
