jan 1, 175 - Epistle to Diogenes?

Description:

"A late 2nd cent CE Christian apology addressed to a certain Diognetus who is otherwise unknown.... The work itself survived (with other writings ascribed to Justin) only in a 13th century manuscript, formerly at Strasbourg but burned during the invasion of 1870." (Grant, ABD 5.2. 201)

It is widely believed that the last two chapters were added at a later time. There are two schools as to its dating, one which favors a date approximately 130 CE and the other which favors a date approximately 200 CE or even later in the third century.
