According to the documentation this optional parameter -- called by -- is the amount by which to offset the new text frame from the original text frame's position.

Let's illustrate this with example:

I have two pages with a text frame selected on the 1st page.

The following code will duplicate it to the 2nd page shifting it 10 mm to the right and 20 mm downwards:

main();
function main() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var destPage = doc.pages[1];
    var tf = app.selection[0];
    tf.duplicate(destPage, ["10 mm", "20 mm"]);
}

Negative values will shift it to the left and upwards respectively

tf.duplicate(destPage, ["-10 mm", "-20 mm"]);

You can also use other units, say, inches

tf.duplicate(destPage, ["1 in", "2 in"]);

or the default units set for rulers in preferences. (I personally work in millimeters)

tf.duplicate(destPage, [10, 20]);

Hope it helps.

this code correct:

sourceFile = File.openDialog ("Show me the source"),

    destPage = app.activeDocument.pages[0],

    sourceDoc = app.open(sourceFile, false),

   sourceFrame = sourceDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0];

outFrame =sourceFrame.duplicate(destPage ,["10 mm","10 mm"]);

  outFrame.move(["13 mm","13 mm"]);

sourceFile = File.openDialog ("Show me the source"),    destPage = app.activeDocument.pages[0],    sourceDoc = app.open(sourceFile, false),   sourceFrame = sourceDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0]; outFrame =sourceFrame.duplicate(destPage ,["10 mm","10 mm"]);
  outFrame.move(["13 mm","13 mm"]);
