I reckon this to be 23rd May 2005 but the client is querying this and I am wondering whether Yale uses a different system of dating in Latin? Help would be much appreciated!

The Romans counted inclusively (remember: no algebra, no zero). Think of Christ risen on the third day--we normally think Sunday is two days after Friday. You have to count BOTH June 1 and May 23.
