In English machine translation

[…] Sebastos Soter Neos Sebastos Iulieus Theogeneios Neroneios Gaieios Agrippineios Germanikeios Drousilleios […]

The names (e.g. Gaieios, Germanikeios, Agrippineios, Drousilleios) honour Gaius, his father Germanicus, his mother Agrippina and his sister Drusilla. They are kept in transliterated form because they are month names with no English equivalent.
