What do you write in short if the exact date of birth has not been identified? For example "Danylo Bohdanovych Bratkovsky (the exact date of birth has not been identified – 26.11.1702) – public figure, writer. He comes from a long line of ancient Ukrainian nobility." Nobody knows even circa when he was born. So, in brackets I've written "(the exact date of birth has not been identified – 26.11.1702)" but I guess there must be the better variant that would be more natural and shorter.. Thank you!!

I've frequently seen a question mark to indicate uncertainty for birth or death dates: – Bratkovsky (1650?–1702) = date of birth uncertain – Bratkovsky (?–1702) = date of birth unknown

you could say something like "believed to have been born in late 1702".
