"However, this is not the only source for the book. It is mentioned by Eusebius in about 324 AD. It is called by him the Book of the Twelve Apostles. Eusebius seems to be aware that some considered the book to be sub-canonical, but he rejects its status. The Didache is also mentioned by Athanasius (367) and Rufinus (380 AD). Both deny its part in the canon of the New Testament, but the very fact that they mention it shows that the book was held in high regard by the early church–in fact it shows that some considered it inspired or sub-inspired. Surely this moves the Didache to the very early second century at the latest. It became part of the Ethiopian/Coptic list of sub-canonical books. It is the consensus of scholars that the Didache is probably a late first century catechism, although some put it in the very early second century. I believe this is very likely a correct date for this book.I made a copy of it, reviewed it, and have seen many of the same positions taken by others. I do give credit to the writer of this one for tenaciously also giving reasons for not believing it. I have studied this issue for a long time. I've also studied the history of "the church" to include the ECF. They are the initial cause of the church's fall away from the Apostle's orthodoxy. What we have now is nowhere close to the true orthodoxy. (And the Didache has had revision done to it, so it is not original either.)
The arguments presented here are a great example of having a Biblical Law Degree. Seeing that "the church" has spent 1600 years trying to perfect its argument to persuade followers of Christ to accept the trinity, it should have a well-worded document that is still, sadly, inconclusive. After all, these trinitarians threatened, tortured, and even killed those who would not accept it. I have found that, from all I've seen, the last person killed over this disagreement was in the 17th century when John Calvin has a man name Severus burned at the stake for refusing this doctrine. (Great testimony for Calvinism, right?) I guess that is evidence of how well scripture show it, right? Either we accept what scripture says or, like in this case, we make it say something else through assumptions. Of course, today in our English translations, words used in translation have been substituted, punctuated, or capitalized in order to support the doctrine. I know that our bibles would be a little different today had not the ECF caused this doctrine.
I have asked Yahweh many times to let me go back to being a trinitarian and life changes once churches start thinking only trinitarians can be saved. I know better, but it definitely effected my being in community which I sorely miss.
I depend on God to give me truth. Many people make that claim, but in discussions with them, I find that they can offer no evidence for the reason they believe. They simply parrot the things that they have been taught. Sadly, many cannot accept that my beliefs do not affect theirs and also doesn't make me their enemy. They get very emotional when I point out passages that they should study and see how true their beliefs are.
If Yahweh wanted us to believe His "only begotten Son" is also Yahweh, He would have made it plain. After all, that would be a major deal,, right? Nobody would have to be threatened, tortured, or killed to accept it.
A number of early church fathers quote from the Didache. Clement of Alexandria, Origen quote from it and Polycarp and Ignatius appear to use the Didache. The similarity of their quotes to the text from the eleventh century tells us that the manuscript we have is at least a reasonable facsimile of the original Didache. Obviously, we cannot do anywhere nearly as good a textual criticism of this book as we can with the Greek text of the New Testament with so few manuscripts, but we can reasonably conclude that the Didache we have is fairly close to the original.

How reliable are the texts we have for the Didache, Irenaeus and Ignatius? – Evidence for Christianity

Looks like there is only one Latin manuscript for the Didache, thus there is no evidence of it being rewritten, friend.
