The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 256 parchment leaves (size 15.8 cm by 13.5 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page.[3][4] The leaves are arranged in sedez. The manuscript is lacunose at the end (John 21:11-25).[5] In John 14:22-15:5 it was supplied by later hand.[2]

It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, but it lacks the Eusebian Canon Tables. It uses lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical use.[2]

Text edit

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[6] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual Family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10 and Luke 20. The manuscript is a fragmentary in Luke 20.[6]

History edit

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 11th century.[5] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[3][4] The codex 937 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (29), in Mount Athos.[5] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (161 (29)) in Athos.[3][4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (937e).[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[8]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[9] NA28[10]).
