 His title seems to have changed around this time to that of "magister militum Dalmatiae" though it is not for certain, only that his nephew who took over for him after held this title.During this time his power seems to have grown and it was possible he could attack Italy, but at the request of the Italians, the eastern court sent an envoy to him and he agreed not to attack.In the spring of 467 he was one of the "comites" who accompanied the new emperor of the West, Anthemius, to Italy with a large army.
