Apocalypse of Zephaniah
Because the Apocalypse of Zephaniah refers to the story of Susanna, it must be later than 100 BC. It was also probably known to Clement of Alexandria, and so was written before the last quarter of second century AD. Within this range Wintermute suggested a date before 70 AD, because of a reference to a pro-Edomite tradition. AZ means Apocalypse of Zephaniah vs Revelation of John.
