Description

Originally the codex contained the text of the Gospels. To the present time survived only 19 parchment leaves (size 15 cm by 12.4 cm). It has only text of Matthew 2:13-9:17.[3]

The text is written in one column per page, 47 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, with a references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]

It contains the Eusebian tables, Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, liturgical books Synaxarion and Menologion (remarkable for peculiar art), and lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical reading.[6][5]
