Papyrus Egerton 2

I'm currently working on he Lost Sayings of Jesus: Annotated and Explained for Skylight Paths. the book is divided up into Christian, Jewish, Gnostic and Islamic material, plus a section for modern fictions and forgeries. Today I've been translating and commenting on the Papyrus Egerton 2 fragments. I had to make recourse to the Internet because the half a dozen volumes that I possess that contain translations of Papyrus Egerton tell me that it was first published in 1935, but fail to mention when it was discovered. So I'm grateful for Wieland Willker's site, which tells me "The Papyrus Egerton 2 was purchased from a dealer in Egypt in Summer 1934 by the British Museum."
