Also look at the subject of fasting. The Didascalia gives the reason for the change from Monday and Thursday to Wednesday and Friday as being that Yeshua was arrested on Wednesday and died on Friday. The much earlier work, the Didache, also has the Wednesday and Friday fast days changed showing Wednesday and Friday very early have a very important significance.
The timeline in the Didascalia is not one most people would come up with when trying to harmonize the Gospels. That to me shows that an actual understanding of what really happened may be recorded here. Also, the unique understanding of the 3 days and 3 nights is explained. Not a common understanding, not something a person would understand from reading the texts.
