	Jim, I didn't see a reply to your question over the last day or so, so
here goes.

	The Egerton Papyrus 2 was found in Egypt in 1935 and consisted of two
pages, a fragment of a third and a little scrap of a 4th.  The pericopes
have close parallels to GJohn but is not dependent on John.

	Personally, I believe that Egerton is a Greek translation of the
original Aramaic "proto-John."  Helmut Koester treats the Egerton
in depth in "Ancient Christian Gospels" and since I know you have that,
I will not list bibliographies.
