The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it as Kappa text. It was not confirmed by Kurt Aland, who did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Πa in Luke 1, and Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20.[6]

Silva Lake discovered that in Mark 4:20-6:24 it represents text of the Family 1.[7]
