What it is
Sixteen instructions on the creed, the Lord's Prayer, baptism, and the eucharist, surviving complete only in Syriac after the Greek was destroyed.
Why it lasted
The fullest account of initiation in the Syrian church, and the theology that the Church of the East still teaches.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
