With regard to P66:

This is untrue:  what is true is

1.  the scribe occasionally corrects his own error by placing dots over 
a word which he'd included, as at 2.11 _proten_.

2.  he uses diaeresis/trema over initial iota in e.g. _ioudaios - a 
widespread practice.

Maybe someone who knows nothing has misunderstood one or other 
or both of these facts.


With regard to % agreements of 'the papyri': this claim is 
meaningless.  P75, as we all know, has a text very similar to that 
found later in B, the MS which WH preferred most frequently.  Other 
papyri are quite different.  There is no pattern.
