It contains Lessons from the Gospels.^[1] Scholz did not give number of leaves, number of columns, number of lines in the column. He did not give size of the pages. According to him it was held in the Marcian Library under the catalogue number 286. Gregory suggested that it can concern the codex 270. ^[3]
