Well if you really care to know a Coptic manuscript of the book was discovered in 1945 while three fragments of a Greek manuscript had been found earlier at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt in 1898 and 1903. The earliest Greek fragment can be dated to the early third century CE. Thus, the Gospel of Thomas must have been composed prior to 200 CE.
FRAGMENT=/= a book of thomas.
The book of thomas could have very well been constructed in 1300 around this fragment. all your fragment prooves is that there is an unknown writting and an unknown author or book.
Your fragment is like finding a 1/2 a page of romeo and juliet 1000 years from now and then have someone fill in the rest and then some douche such as yourself pretend this recreation has the same legitimacy as FULL 2nd or 3rd century books have!
No one of any serious scholarship would consider this anything other than a 14th century work Unless something older vets it.

..............?
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he went back to the Temple area. The people all came to him, and he sat and taught them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in bed with a man who was not her husband. They forced her to stand in front of the people. 4 They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The Law of Moses commands us to stone to death any such woman. What do you say we should do?”
6 They were saying this to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong so that they could have a charge against him. But Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger.7 The Jewish leaders continued to ask him their question. So he stood up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned should throw the first stone at her.” 8 Then Jesus stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they began to leave one by one. The older men left first, and then the others. Jesus was left alone with the woman standing there in front of him. 10 He looked up again and said to her, “Where did they all go? Did no one judge you guilty?”
11 She answered, “No one, sir.”
Then Jesus said, “I don’t judge you either. You can go now, but don’t sin again.”[a]
