The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 294 parchment leaves (20.5 cm by 14.2 cm), with some lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, in 20 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 236 sections, the last section in 16:12), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (chapters) before each Gospel, synaxaria, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of στιχοι.[3]
