Fun fact, in the Russian tradition at least the antimins (the holy cloth/document signed by the bishop necessary for a priest to consecrate the Holy Eucharist) has the traditional Byzantine date of creation inscribed on it. Why would God allow a "falsehood" in such a holy place upon which Christ's body resides? Is the Holy Spirit not the Spirit of Truth? This is not too far from saying that inscribing Arian or Nestorian formulas would be fine because it's just a textual detail and has no real significance. There is also no possible "allegory" in the date.
