He eventually attained an imperial title of protospatharios somewhere between 1035 and 1042, which governed his influence over the Byzantine Dalmatian theme. Prasca is known to have granted land to the monastery of Crisogni with his wife, Mary, which is attested in a 1042 document.[4] He resided in Zadar.
