The date generally agreed upon is mid 4th century, or later 4th century. This would be contemporary with St. Jerome, St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. Athanasius, St. John Chrysostom, St. Cyril of Alexandria, etc. etc. That means it’s at least 1600 years old, and probably older. What a great thing to have online!
