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!!

Answer

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

Answer

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