The Didache does not have many quotations which show clear variants, however the Didache includes a longer form of the Lord's prayer, which is closer to the Byzantine text type:
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Byzantine and TR)
for Yours is the power and the glory forever. (Didache)
The ending is very similar, however the Didache is missing "and the power", which may be due to an early copyist error as the form found in the Didache is not found in many manuscripts, it however still appears that the manuscript behind the Didache may have been similar to the Byzantine tradition.
The epistle of Barnabas was written in the early/mid 2nd century in Alexandria, though the text rarely quotes the New Testament as it is focused on the Old, when it quotes the New Testament in Mark 2:17 it agrees with the Byzantine witnesses, both the Byzantine manuscripts and Barnabas include the words "unto repentance" or "εις μετανοιαν" in the verse.
