The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 266 parchment leaves (22.3 cm by 17 cm). The text is written elegantly in one column per page, in 24 lines per page.[2]
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 a division according to the Αmmonian Sections (in Mark 241 Sections, the last in 16:20), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammomnian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, numbers of στιχοι, Synaxarion, and Menologion.[3]
The manuscript was written by Theodosius.[3] It once belonged to the monastery on Sinai peninsula.
Wiedmann and J. G. J. Braun collated some portions of the manuscript for Scholz (1794-1852).[6] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz.[7]C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
