Greetings b-greekers --

I am looking at the textual note for John 2:12 in my UBS GNT, 4th
revised edition. 

The first manuscript listed for the first variant is a curlicue P
(meaning papyrus) with superscript 66c.   

I see P66 in the table at the front of the book, but I'm wondering about
the "c."  For "Location" the table says "Cologny; Dublin; Cologne."  
Does the "c" by chance mean that the papyrus is extant in three parts,
in three places?  And the part including John 2:12 is in Cologne?  

I googled P66 and found a wikipedia reference to the Bodner Papyrii, of
which P66 is evidently one, but I find no clue as to P66c.  Also, the
wikipedia article says P66 is in Cologny, Switzerland; nothing about
Dublin or Cologne.  

I can't find anything in the introduction that explains this particular
point, or I guess now I have 2 questions:

(1) what does the "c" in "P66c" mean and
(2) what do the other 2 locations "Dublin" and "Cologne" signify, for
P66?

And a third:

(3) is there a good online master cross-reference to the ancient
manuscripts listed in my GNT?  trying to google e.g. "P66 papyrus
Dublin"  is opening a can of worms...  I found K C Hanson's list at 
http://www.kchanson.com/papyri.html
but it only lists P66 at Cologny...

Thanks so much for your help!
