    The extant Syriac translation of an original Greek expansion of Hippolytus' Apostolic Tradition, known as the Testamentum Domini, has received much scholarly attention (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 138). Jasper and Cuming observe that the expansion was accomplished primarily by insertion of "two lengthy new passages' (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 138). The text is probably from the early fifth century.
    After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 138), Jasper and Cuming provide an English translation of the eucharistic portion of the Testamentum Domini.
    Jasper and Cuming additionally describe a fragmentary anaphora of Epiphanius of Salamis (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 141). Though probably written in Greek, this fragment is Armenian Some portions suggest a date after the 451 Council of Chalcedon.
    After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 142), Jasper and Cuming provide an English translation of the eucharistic portions.
