On Pg. 79-80 Fee reported that C. L. Porter's earlier doctoral dissertation had found

Quote:

"The text of P66 is not a part of the history of the text found
In Codex Vaticanus," nor is there any "clearly . . . close
textual relationship" between P66 and P75. On the other
hand, "the text of P66 is a part of the same textual stream
out of which Codex Sinaiticus flows" (p. 150). His final
conclusion, therefore, was that "the text of P66 is not a
{^"A Textual Analysis," pp. 152-153.}

'mixed' text. Its text is best described as one which lies
in the higher reaches of the stream from which Codex
Sinaiticus and the Washington Codex later derived. "

This contrasts with the usual picture of P66 and P75 being very close, and both as precursors of B (Vaticanus). Everyone agreed, however, that B drew upon P75. (Porter probably stated the same in his 1962 JBL article on pg. 363-376.)

On page 102 Fee disagrees with Porter, finding only John 6 & 7 to be very close between P66 and Sinaiticus, and these chapters are within the first 8 chapters of Sinaiticus that have predominantly Western readings.
