The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, the last section in 16:8), whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
It contains the Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and pictures.[3]
