The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 278 parchment leaves (size 14 cm by 10.7 cm),[3] with numerous lacunae (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 15:29-16; 20 Luke 1:1-3:23). Text of Luke 24:46-53 was supplied by a later hand.[1] The text is written in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[3] It was written by several hands.[6]
The tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before every Gospel. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) with the τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially).[5] It contains a lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[6]
The Old Testament quotations are marked on the margin. N ephelkystikon is rare.[7]

According to the Wisse's Profile Method it represents family Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20; in Luke 1 the manuscript is defective.[9]
