Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 211 parchment leaves (size 29 cm by 22 cm).[3] The text is written in one column (sometimes two) per page, 26-28 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, last in 16:20), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin, incipits, liturgical books (Synaxarion and Menologion), and pictures (from the older manuscript).[5]
