Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 324 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 15 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3] The texts of Matthew 1:1-13:46; Luke 2:37-5:1 were supplied by a later hand on paper.[1][6]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, but there is no their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.[6]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) with a harmony, lectionary markings at the margin, incipits, αναγνωσεις (lessons), and pictures. Lectionary books with hagiographies Synaxarion and Menologion were added by a 15th-century hand.[5][6]

Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr. Aland placed it in Category V.[7]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It creates textual cluster 763.[8]
The text of the Pericope Adutlerae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[6]
