History edit
The manuscript once belonged to John Sambucky (together with codex 124). It was presented to Octavio Ferrari in Milano in 1562.[3] It was examined by Treschow, Alter, Andreas Birch, and Burgon. Alter used it in his edition of the Greek New Testament (vol. 2, pp. 741–788). Birch collated some of its readings. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1887.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[6]
Formerly it was designated by the symbols 63a and 68p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 404 to it.[1]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 313) in Vienna.[2]
