Yossi, I didn’t see anywhere that the publication in question was specifically
by Ben Yehudah, so I gave a broader response. Sorry if I missed something.
P.S. As cataloging moves to more inclusive conventions and terminology, BC and
AD are being phased out in favor of BCE and CE, respectively.
Jasmin,
Thank you for your message.
The question is not when the Temple was destroyed, 68, 69 or 70 A.D. The
question is what year did Ben Yehudah and his publications think that the
Temple was destroyed and according to that year calculated the date on the
published book or newspaper.
There seems to be a stray space in my date range below; it should read [that
is, between 1902-1905].
Also, the descriptive note can be more succinct, “Publication date is counted
from the destruction of the Second Temple which occurred between 68-70 CE.”

Hi, I think Robert meant that 1849 was 1916/1917 per the linked article Yossi
had sent. 1849-1836 (the date in Yossi’s publication) is a difference of 13
years; 1916/1917-13 = 1903/1904. However, I’m not sure about Ben-Yehudah’s use
of the date 69 CE as the year of the destruction of Bayit
Hi Yossi:
Assuming that 8441 is 1916/1917,
$c אלף אתתל''ה לחרבן, [that is, 1911 or 1912]
$c elef 836 le-Hurban [that is, 1911 or 1912]
500 Publication date is based on the destruction of the Second Temple.
My two cents

Yosi,
Regarding recording the information, one approach is to convert the date to the
Gregorian date in the 264 in square brackets and a 500 note something like:
880 ## 500-00 Date given as …

Colleagues,
How do you calculate the date of publication when the date on the book is based
on the date of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem:
בשנת אלף אתתל"ה לחרבן
Thank you
