Sorry, that was in the FIRST volume of Brown's Anchor Bible commentary
on John's Gospel, and specifically, it is #8 on pp. 510-12. Brown cites
two works (there may be more by now) then out on this usage of MENEIN:
Pecorara, G., "De verbo 'manere' apud Joannem," <italic>Divus
Thomas</italic> 40 (1937), 159-171.
Schnacken burg, R., "Zu den joh. Immanenzformula," <italic>Die
Johannesbriefe</italic> (2 ed.; Freiburg: Herder, 1963), pp. 105-9.
