Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 199 paper leaves (size 22.5 cm by 15.5 cm), with some lacunae.[3] The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.[3]

A later hand divided the text according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, but without their τιτλοι (titles) at the top.[5]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel with a harmony, Argumentum, lectionary markings at the margin, incipits, αναγνωσεις, liturgical books (Synaxarion and Menologion), subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers of στιχοι.[5]

The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[5]
