The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 352 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 16.6 cm). The writing is in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[2] The tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before every Gospel, numerals of the κεφαλαια (chapters) are placed at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is another division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 231 Sections - the last in 16:9), but without a references to the Eusebian Canons.

It contains lectionary markings, incipits (notes on the beginning) in vermilion, αναγνωσεις (liturgical notes), subscriptions, numbered στιχοι, and pictures.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to Ak, related to the Antiocheian commentated text (along with 534, 546, 573, 715).[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 10. In Luke 20 it belongs to the group 1519, which stays closely to the family Kx.[5]

gollark: muahahaha.
gollark: ```lualocal function statefulize(fn) local state = 0 return function(...) state = state + 1 fn(...) endend```
gollark: \so it's probably fine.
gollark: I mean, the urandom thing which is used in some of the crypto libraries PotatOS uses uses math.random *and* tostringed tables *and* events for entropy.
