The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 277 parchment leaves (size 23.5 cm by 18.5 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, last in 16:8), without references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (later hand), liturgical books (Synaxarion and Menologion).[5]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual cluster 1001 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[6]
In John 8:8 it has reading ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἕνος ἑκάστου αὐτῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας (wrote on the ground the sins of every one of them). The reading is supported by the manuscripts: Codex Nanianus, 73, 331, 364, 658, 700, 1592, some Vetus Latina, and Armenian manuscripts.[5][8]
