The necessity of important manuscripts in every researcher's hand can be
demonstrated by a brief comparison of  the apparatus of NA27 with P75 (at
Luke 24:51- John 1:16)

NA27 does not note the (apparent?) change of spelling for skotia in verse 5
(P75 has skoteia); nor does it mention that P75 has martyrion for its
martyrian.  Likewise there is no notice that kekragen in NA27 is kekrage in
P75. (the moveable nu is absent).

True enough, these are "orthographic" differences.  But such items are of
interest, and are in fact textual variants.

This brief sample could be multiplied many times over, if only the papyri
were completely included in a critical apparatus.

So, ENTMP, I encourage your work and hope it can soon be completed.
