The text is written in one column per page, 23 lines per page.[3] It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian tables, Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (before every Gospel). The text is divided according to the numbered κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top, and according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241 Sections – the last in 16:19), with references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains also the Harmony at the foot, subscriptions at the end of books, stichoi, and pictures of Evangelists.[5][6]
It contains some notes of Clemens of Alexandria and John Chrysostom.[6]
The texts of the Christ's agony (Luke 22:43-44), John 5:3-4, and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) are marked with an obelus.[6] It means the authenticity of these texts were doubtful for the scribe.
