The book is Carsten Peter Thiede and Matthew d'Ancona, The Jesus Papyri,
London:Weidenffeld and Nicolson, 1996. They note that there are two
papyri from Qumran, which have to antedate A.D. 68, which contain bits of
Mark and of II Timothy. The latter has to antedate A.D. 62. Then they
note bits of Matthew from the same codex, but listed as P64 (parts of ch.
26) and P67 (parts of 3 and 5) that were written about A.D. 70.
