Historically, in the Fifth Century, Faustus of Riez validated Revelation 11:9, 11 use of “days” to mean “years”  by stating “three and a half days which correspond to three years and six months” (Treset dimidius dies tribus annis et sexs mensibus respondent).  Again, in 550 A.D.

Primasius appears to be the first in history to equate “Day-year” by using Numbers 14:34 then extrapolating it to confirm the “Day-year” of  Revelation 11:9. ('More Scripturae loquentis utentes, quod dictium legius de quadraginta diebus quibus exploratores terram Channan circuierunt, anus pro die reputabitur; ut hic, versa vice, dies pro anno positus agnoscatur', Prismasius as cited by EB Elliott, 'Horae Apocalypticae', volume III, page 280, fifth edition, 1862)
