The codex contains the text of the New Testament on 201 parchment leaves (size 25.5 cm by 19.5 cm) with a major lacunae (Acts 1:1-17:24; 18:13-28:31; 1 John 3:9-4:9; Hebrews 7:26-9:28; Luke 2:15-46; 6:42-24:53; John). Some lacunae were supplied by a later hand.[3] It is written in one column per page, 29-31 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The text of the Gospels has also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections - the last section in 16:9), (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[3]
It contains prolegomena to all epistles, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), and the Euthalian Apparatus.[4][3]
The order of books: Acts, Catholic epistles, Apocalypse, Pauline epistles, and Gospels.[3]
10 homoioteleuton, N ephelkystikon (often with nouns) 196 times.[5]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of the text-types. Aland did not place it in any Category.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual cluster 1675 in Luke 1 as a core member. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 manuscript is defective.[7]
