"The papyri" refers to the huge body of papyri (relevant to NT times) and 
used by Deissmann and Moulton and Milligan for example, not to an errant 
papyrus here and there. No, the LXX predates them. Also, you are discussing 
lexicography not TC.

Not quite, Ann. The papyri come from a period stretching from the BC (BCE)
period to AD (CE). This is seen, for example, in sections of the Apocrypha 
that
were written in Greek and are extant through mss and papyri. They have a 
great
bearing on some portions of the LXX.
