| | 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
