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

History
View on the monastery Dionysiou

The manuscript is dated by a colophon to the year 1318.[5][3][4] The name of the scribe was Chariton.[2]

The codex 938 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (30), in Mount Athos.[5] 271 folios of the manuscript are housed at the Dionysiou monastery (159 (30)) in Athos. One leaf is housed at the Russian National Library (Gr. 315) in St. Petersburg[3][4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (938e).[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]

The manuscript was examined and described by Kurt Treu.[9]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[10] NA28[11]).
