February 27, 1309 = Sha'ban 14, 708H
Explanation:
I believe the writer wants to say:

February 27, 1309 = Sha'ban 14, 708H

Sha'ban is the name of a month in the Islamic "Hijri" calender.

H means Hijri.

If you are not going to translate, just use the above forms, or any English form, provided that:

Sha'ban is the name of the month
14 is the day
708 is the year in Hijri calender
