That papyrus is at Princeton, and perhaps some of the TC-list subscribers 
are from there and can check the original.  Barring that, might anyone 
have information as to where a photograph of that papyrus leaf might be 
found? (Elliott's book might give some clues).

correct.  Even though I favor the Byzantine text, I harbor no suspicions 
that Byzantine readings will always or even frequently be found in 
Egyptian papyri.  In light of the remainder of the Alexandrian witnesses 
(not to mention the Latin and Coptic versional evidence), the reading 
XWRIS would fit p54 best.
