I agree with this dating, but I think that there may be some points containing possible historical traces that go back even to the first century AD, such as the letters exchanged by king Abgar and Tiberius. Some elements in them point to the real historical context of Abgar 'the Black''s reign in the first century. The author of the Doctrina might have known the tradition of some historical letters written by Abgar and Tiberius.
