Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 157 paper leaves (size 27 cm by 20 cm) with some lacunae (Matthew 4:13-11:27; Mark 1:1-6:1). The missing texts were added by a later hand.[4] The text is written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[2] According to F. H. A. Scrivener it is ill written.[3]
It text was divided according to the Ammonian Sections by a later hand. Lectionary markings at the margin were added by a later hand. There are also some marginal notes added by a later hand.[4]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx. It was confirmed by the Claremont Profile Method.[6]
