LC-PCC PS for 9.3.4.3 - LC practice/PCC practice: When recording the period of activity, use “active” and “century” rather than the abbreviations “fl.” and “cent.” The term "active" should appear before the first period of activity date (e.g., "active 12th century"), unless another term such as "jin shi" is used.
RDA 9.3.4.3 is for Recording Period of Activity of Person. It suggests that If a date of birth and a date of death are both unknown, record a date or range of dates indicative of the period in which the person was active.

11 B.C.–12 A.D.
approximately 1400
approximately 494 B.C.–approximately 467 B.C.
