Description

edit

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 161 paper leaves (size 22 cm by 14.5 cm), with some lacunae.[3] It lacks texts of Matthew 1:1-5:3; Mark 1:1-16; Luke 1:1-19.[5]

The text is written in one column per page, 27-28 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 (only in Mark), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]

It contains lectionary markings and inartistic pictures.[5]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[6] Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

In John 8:6 it has unusual reading εγραψεν εις την γην ει τις ουχ ημαρτεν βαλετω λιθον επ αυτην οι δε ακουσαντες.[5]
