The Greek Didaché (Διδαχὴ τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων) may be the earliest church order (Kirchenordnung) extant, dating perhaps from the first century. The short text covers ecclesiastical hierarchy, the liturgy, and church discipline. It was compiled perhaps in Syria; the only known Latin translation is fragmentary.
