Chronogram
A chronogram is a sentence or inscription in which specific letters, interpreted as numerals, stand for a particular date when rearranged. The word, meaning "time writing," derives from the Greek words chronos ("time") and gramma ("letter"). Longer chronograms are referred to as chronosticha, if they are a hexameter, and chronodisticha if they are a distich.
