It contains numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin (only in Matthew), (no τιτλοι), lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, αναγνωσεις (to Matthew), synaxaria, and pictures.[4]

The Greek text of the codex in some parts represents the Byzantine text-type, in other parts is mixed. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[5]
