I'm not quite sure what you are asking. You have seconds since a known epoch
and you want to create a date from that?  It would be something like:

  
  ptime epoch(date(1969, Dec, 31), hours(16)); //4 pm on dec 31 1969
  seconds s(...); //whatever
  //what?
  
Or is seconds since creation that you have and what to backtrack to the date?
