TIMACT_MS is in milliseconds but since when?

I am subscribing to MRN_STORY and I see value of TIMACT_MS as 493387. In the forum, I read that this is in milliseconds since Epoch but this value looks too small for that. I could not find details more than this or in docs anywhere. Appreciate if someone can clarify if it is in milliseconds, then since when.

FieldList FieldListNum="32767" DictionaryId="1"
FieldEntry fid="17" name="ACTIV_DATE" dataType="Date" value="03 SEP 2021"
FieldEntry fid="4148" name="TIMACT_MS" dataType="UInt" value="493387

    For MRN data, the TIMACT_MS is relative to the ACTIV_DATE value

    UTC time of last activity in milliseconds. Relative to ACTIV_DATE, and thus it resets to 0 at the beginning of each UTC day. Denotes when the update was published by the MRN_SRC. Stamped upon publication to the Elektron network.

    Please refer to the MRN Data Model documentation for further details
