The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Mark 13:28-14:33; Luke 1:10-58; 21:26-22:50) on 203 parchment leaves (23 cm by 18 cm). The text is written in two columns per page (size of column 16.3 by 4.6 cm), in black ink. The initial letters are in red or blue ink.[4]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237, the last numbered section in 16:15), but there are no references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]
It contains αναγνωσεις (lessons), and pictures. The number of αναγνωσεις in Matthew is 129, in Mark 190, in Luke 309, in John 379.[4] Liturgical books with hagiographies, Synaxaria and Menologion were added by later hand in the 15th century on the paper.[4][5]
The text of John 5:4 is marked with an obelus; the text of the pericope John 7:53-8:11 is omitted.[4]
In Matthew 27:9 it has variant ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἰησαίου τοῦ προφήτου (fulfilled what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet). This variant is supported only by Latin Codex Rehdigeranus. Another manuscripts contain "Jeremiah" or omit the name of the prophet.[8]
The manuscript probably was written in Calabria. At the end of Luke it is written κυριε σωσων με, τον αμαρτωλον ονησιμον (the Lord save me, a sinner Onesimus). Probably it was written by Onesimus.[4]
