Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 153 parchment leaves (19.5 cm by 15 cm), with numerous lacunae (Matthew 1:1-25:36; 26:17-27:17; 27:33-Mark 2:25; John 18:8-21:25). The text's format is one column per page, with 22 lines per page. The hand in which it is written is very rough.
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections, 16:9), whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers). The division according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with τιτλοι (titles), was added by later hand.
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion, pictures, lectionary markings at the margin (added by later hand), and αναγνωσεις (lessons).
