The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, Luke (Evangelistarium), with lacunae[2] on 272 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (33.1 cm by 25 cm).[3][4] 84 leaves of the codex have lost.[5]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 23 lines per page.[3][4]
It contains music notes and an Armenian note dated to 1460. According to Scrivener a note has no special interest.[5]
The codex contains weekday Gospel lessons according to the Byzantine Church order.[3][4]
It was bought in Constantinople in 1880 and brought to London. It was examined by W. F. Rose, who collated its text. W. F. Rose found it much to resemble Lectionary 184.[2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (281e)[5] and Gregory (number 333e).[2] Gregory saw it in 1883.[2]
