The codex contains an almost complete text of the four Gospels on 350 parchment leaves (14.5 cm by 10.5 cm) with some lacunae in Matt 3:12-4:17; 19:12-20:2; Luke 1:76-2:18; John 6:15-35; 8:6-39; 9:21-10:3. Texts of Mark 16:18-20 and John 21:22-25 were supplied by minuscule hand in the 12th-century.[2]

The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3] The letters are small, with breathings, and accents.[2]

The tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel. The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections with a references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]

The texts of John 5:4 and 8:3-6 are marked by an asterisk (manuscript is lacunae from v6 from κύψας to after τέκνα in 8:39).[2]

gollark: It's one of those coordination problems where you cannot get rid of it because other people have it.

gollark: Probably the social barriers might be significant, since there doesn't actually seem to be much investment in AI art things. Which I can interpret as a lot of presumably smart companies being wildly irrational, or it being less important than I think.

gollark: Except those who know.

gollark: Social barriers maybe but who knows.
