Which one is missing?

Hi.

At the court of the king of Babylon in 2000 B.C.

As to me, this is a propositional phrase acting as the adverb of the sentence.

The question is which part of the sentence is missing: subject or predicate? As far as I know, the main part of any predicate is the verb, so my perception is that both the subject and the predicate is missing in the given phrase; am I correct?
