Description

The codex contains lessons from the Acts and Epistles lectionary (Apostolarion), on 160 parchment leaves (26.4 cm by 19.7 cm), with lacunae at the beginning and end.[3] The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 28-29 lines per page.[1] It is ill written.[4] It contains musical notes in red.[2]

The text reaches from the second Sunday after Easter, through the Ascension, Pentecost, to the sixteenth week after Pentecost. The Menology (folios 114 v – 160) has almost no lessons given at length, but overflows with rubrical directions.[4]
