It is written in two columns per page, 22 lines per page,^[2] in large uncial letters. The writing is similar to Codex Sangallensis 48 but bigger. It has diacritic marks and accents.^[3]

It is a palimpsest, the upper text has Latin Vulgate.^[2] The leaves were washed to make a palimpsest, and the writing erased in parts by a knife.^[1]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the mixed text-type, with a strong element of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family I'.^[4] Aland placed it in Category III.^[2]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed text in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 the manuscript is defective.^[4]
