ANTIOXEIS = subject of the sentence = "the people of Antiochia"
KAICARI SEBASTW ARCHIEREI = dative object of the sentence = "to Caesar Augustus, the Archiereus" (added: "dedicate")
ARXIERATIKON (added STEPHANON) = accusative object of the sentence = "the archieratic (wreath)"

The Actian era is counted from the battle of Actium.
