Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 303 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 11.5 cm) with some lacunae (Mark 14:69-15:10; John 20:10-23; 21:3-24). It has some foreign matter.
It is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.
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 also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 247 Sections - the last section in 16:5), but with only a few references to the Eusebian Canons.
The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (added by later hand), incipits, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.
