Shlama Akhi Michael,
It sounds from these quotations as if there is the small work we know in the Aramaic as "The Teaching of the Apostles", and there is a much larger work in Greek which is based on the Aramaic except having "modifications and extensive interpolation" (emphasis mine.)
I didn't know of the larger and later Greek version based upon the Aramaic. Sounds like a lot of tampering with the original concise work in Aramaic to me.
It would be interesting to know if the quotes relating to Tuesday night are in the later Greek "interpolations".....
Sounds to me like the two aren't the same work anymore, especially not in content.
