Abstract

This chapter focuses on a re-examination of three ancient authors who mention the Didache in three literary texts and on the re-examination of the only other material evidence of a Greek Didache . The three literary texts are the Stichometry of Nicephorus, the Paschal Letter of Athanasius, and the Greek commentaries of Didymus the Blind. The chapter provides an interpretation of Oxyrhynchus fragments. It also addresses four items of evidence that stretch chronologically from the fourth century (Athanasius, Didymus and the fragments) to the ninth century (Nicephorus). Finally the chapter concludes that the discovery of another miniature codex of the Didache from the same time period would certainly strengthen this case. Keywords:Athanasius; Christian enchiridion; Didache; Didymus; miniature codex; Oxyrhynchus fragment; Stichometry of Nicephorus
