When considering these prayers in the Didache, we should maybe take into account the prayer concerning the ointment.
Concerning the ointment give thanks in this manner: We give You thanks, O God, the Creator of the whole world, both for the flagrancy of the ointment, and for the immortality which You have made known to us by Your Son Jesus. For Yours is the glory and the power forever. Amen.
It is probably not original but has early attestation.

Apostolic Constitutions 7.27. How early do you think it goes?
A similar reading is found in a 5th century Coptic fragment of the Didache. The archtype is clearly earlier than either witness, probably 3rd century or earlier.

Ah, the Coptic. I need to get more information on that version of the Didache; it has come up before for me.
