The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 332 parchment leaves (size 28 cm by 19.5 cm), with some lacunae.[3] The text is written in one column per page, 20-22 lines per page.[3] It lacks texts of Matthew 6:7-7:15; 6:25-9:9; John 21:3-25 were supplied by a later hand on paper.[6]
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.[6]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables o contents), lectionary markings at the margin, αναγνωσεις (lessons), and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[5][6]
