Magister militum
In 408, after the death of Stilicho (August 22), he was appointed "Magister peditum", but a little later his office was given to the "Magister equitum" Turpilio. The following year he was again in Constantinople, where he probably had received the office of "Magister militum praesentalis"; on this occasion, he suppressed a popular revolt caused by a food shortage with the collaboration of Arsacius and Synesius.
