The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 262 parchment leaves (19.5 cm by 15.6 cm) with some lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, in 22 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[3]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary equipment at the margin for liturgical use, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and music notes.[3]
The texts of John 8:44-11:33; 21:7-25 is written on paper and was added in the 16th century.[3]
