I didn't found any function of name "text" that converts
float8 to text. So I think Postgres made an implicit cast of the data
to datatime. So: String->Float8->DateTime->Text. Stranger : I didn't
found any function to cinvert float to text !

Here, you made an explicit cast, without the use of any
function. So your data is casted well.
Hope this helps !
