The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, last in 16:8), without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (later hand), liturgical books (Synaxarion and Menologion).
