The text is written in single column per page, 23 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top.[6] There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]
It contains pictures and some Armenian notes (later hand).[6]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland did not place it in any Category.[7]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Πb in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[8]
