The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of John, on 235 parchment leaves (size 27.5 cm by 19.9 cm),[3] with some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-16; 2:3-9; 6:3-9:30; John 19:24-34, 20:19-29).[1] The text is written in one column per page, 35 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is no another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (with references to the Eusebian Canons).[6]
It contains lists of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel.[6]
