Wayne,

You may wish to consult J.D. G. Dunn's commentary on Romans published by
"Word" publishers.  It is two volumes, but I think all of the material you
want is in vol 1.

He deals quite thoroughly with the significant variants.
Then I would consult Ulrich Wilckens "Der Brief an die Romer"

And of course you should look at Bruce Metzgers' "Textual Commentary on the
Greek New Testament".

Best wishes on your work.

Jim West
