You can see two new presentations discussing Simonides here:
CONFERENCE in Kristiansand, NOR, "The Lying Pen of Scribes"
http://papyrology.blogspot.nl/
Malcolm Choat (Macquarie University), “From Constantine Simonides to the Gospel of Jesus' Wife: the Authentication of Papyri and Development of Palaeography”
Tommy Wasserman (?rebro School of Theology and Ansgar School of Theology), “Simonides Forgeries of New Testament Manuscripts in the Mayer Collection”
Macquarie University is also the locale of Brent Nongbri, the Bible and manuscript scholars there seem to be quite sharp (irrespective of differing personal faith positions.)
==========================
The conference used the modern version mistranslation of:
Jeremiah 8:8
How do ye say,
We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?
Lo, certainly in vain made he it;
the pen of the scribes is in vain.
