Your Internet Archive url is faulty, so try these (better to go to the page than the PDF)Unlike Tischenduper and Bryennius, I trust Whiston, so I'll go back to his Apostolic Constitutions, but maybe I'll avoid the version "improved" by Donaldson. But we still don't know what manuscript Whiston was working from, although he includes the greek that he translated in his book. Unfortunately the version on the Internet Archive is a poor version to OCR, because of the middle English font and dual=greek columns.
Does anyone know of an OCRed version of Whiston's Apostolic Constitutions?

Earlier I mentioned the Arabic manuscripts, e.g. there is background information here:

Whiston announced that he had, with the assistance of Simon Ockley, soon to be Sir Thomas Adams’s professor of Arabic at Cambridge and a distinguished orientalist whom Toland also knew, recovered a version of this ancient Christian work amongst the manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. Whiston believed the work to have been extracted from the Apostolic Constitutions and therefore worthy to be esteemed canonical.101

So I tend to doubt that you are matching up a Greek text with a Didache portion in 1711. I am just trying to get the basic paramenters right here.
