“The term “Eucharist” (thanksgiving) is that by which the rite is referred by the Didache (late 1st or early 2nd century)”

The best analysis I’ve ever seen about the Didache demonstrated it was a much earlier Jewish document that was edited to become a Christian document, then edited and updated over time. At this point, no one knows which changes happened at which point.

Now, just imagine if the Roman church took it upon itself to edit Scripture every time they added to their beliefs over the past millennia. Instead of just making up “traditions”, pretend they instead edited Scripture to support their changing beliefs.

You would have more information documenting the generic heritage of a labradoodle, than a document that was contaminated like that. This is the story of the Didache.

While it is interesting, it is not authoritative. Nor is dating possible, since there would be multiple dates as it was updated.

There is plenty of proof that even the Apostles' Creed was edited and updated over time by the Catholic church. For example, the words "one, holy, catholic and apostolic church" was not originally in there. I believe it is by the providence of Almighty God that we have thousand of manuscript copies of the Bible books in the ancient languages they were written in so that God's word is protected from human "editing".
