Minuscule 830 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε310 (von Soden),^[1][2] is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 222 parchment leaves (size 23 cm by 17 cm), with some lacunae.^[3] It lacks texts of Matthew 10:15-25:3; Mark 14:28-16:20; John 18:39-21:25. The text of Matthew 4:3-5:5 was supplied by a later hand.^[4] The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page.^[3][5]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), and according to the smaller Ammonian Sections. The numbers of the κεφαλαια are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. The numbers of the Ammonian Sections are given with a references to the Eusebian Canons (written under Ammonian Sections) at the margin.^[4]

It contains Prolegomena, the tables of the κεφαλαια (table of contents) precede each Gospel.^[4][6]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^x.^[7] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.^[8] According to Gregory it could be related to the textual family f¹³.^[4]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family K^x in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 it represents textual cluster M27.^[7]
