Description

edit

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 70 (?) parchment leaves (size 17.7 cm by 12.3 cm).[1] According to Gregory the manuscript contained texts of: Matthew 27:14-30; 28:1-18; Mark 7:31-16:20; Luke 1:1-12:6.[2]

The text is written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[1][3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237 Sections, the last section in 16,14), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Sections numbers).[2]

It contained Prolegomena of Cosmas, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each of the Gospels, and subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels.[2]

The textual character of the codex is unknown because no one examined its readings.[4][5]
