It was about 100 years after. The canon was pretty well decided by the eary to mid 200's and the Donatist controversy started in the early 300's but wasn't irreparable until the mid part of the century. The info about _gramaton_ is interesting and tempting, but I'm affraid C-a is too much a Latin land for a completely different term to be embraced. I'm leaning toward _Biblia_, but haven't decided for sure yet.
