προελθόντι που σταδίους ἐπὶ θαλάσσης πόλις ἐστὶν Ἀκρίαι·
The dative participle προελθόντι is an impersonal/absolute temporal frame (‘after proceeding’), with που as an indefinite adverb; σταδίους ἐπὶ θαλάσσης gives the distance, and πόλις ἐστὶν Ἀκρίαι is an existential/predicative clause. The exact attachment of the distance phrase is somewhat uncertain.
