On what grounds?    (02)

I would actually think it is C@t(c) (which is 2. C(c,t) in the 
traditional AI/KR notation Pat mentioned), because of the definition    (03)

     c instance_of C at t - a primitive relation between a continuant 
instance and a class which  it instantiates at a specific  time  [1]    (04)

which talks about *instantiating at time* (hence it seems to be the 
relation that is time-qualified) rather than the sentence being true at 
a time (hence it seems not to be the sentence that is time-qualified, as 
you suggest).  The cited paper does not use the R(...) notation, 
however, so it's not immediately obvious where those author would put 
the time variable.    (05)
