The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels. The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.[2][3] The capital letters in red.[4]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the left margin of the text (also Latin κεφαλαια added by a later hand), and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237 sections, the last in 16:14), with references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, synaxaria (liturgical book), and pictures.[4]
The Greek text of the codex, for the most part, is a mixture of text-types, with predominant the Byzantine element. It has also some Alexandrian readings, and some unique readings.[5] It is close textually to Codex Campianus. Aland did not place it in any Category.[6]
