A comparison of the text with its two extant Greek versions reveals that the exorcism is the synthesis of two earlier prayers composed not later than the early 5th century, one of them being of intertestamental or later Jewish origin. It was found that a fragment of the exorcism is cited in the «Pandects of Holy Scripture» of Antiochus of Palestine and that the Testament’s text has a citation borrowed from the Apophthegmata Patrum. This indicates that in the 5th–6th centuries the Testament was circulating in the Palestinian Orthodox monastic circles and that its text could have been revised in Palestine.
