The canon of the new testament was effectively decided for the western church (at least) at the regional councils of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage in the late fourth century. I don't know anything about this particular text, but the canon had been established for centuries by this point.
(Yes, I know it wasn't officially decided in an ecumenical council until Trent in 1545, but those three councils effectively settled the question, given the importance of the regions involved.)
