For an inscription:

Out of the primeval spirit of place Sertor made it, 2237 EX·GENIUS·LOCI·PRIMAEVVS·SERTOR·FECIT·MMCCXXXVII

Is it correct? Thank you for your help.

No, that's not grammatical. The following is the equivalent grammatical version of your text:

EX·GENIO·LOCI·PRIMAEVO·SERTOR·FECIT·MMCCXXXVII

I think this is a reasonable version of what I think you want, but I will leave it to others to suggest other possible wordings.
