He was sent to replace Argyrus after the latter was recalled to Constantinople. He arrived in Otranto and travelled to Bari, his seat. He was defeated near Taranto by Drogo of Hauteville, the brother of the Norman count of Apulia. He returned to Bari whence he was met by the new catepan John Raphael.
