Description

The codex contains the text of the New Testament except Book of Revelation on 222 paper leaves (26.7 cm by 17.3 cm). The text is written in one column per page, in 34 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), they were added by later hand.[3]

The order of books is unusual: Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, Gospels, Book of Psalms with Hymns.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. According to Hermann von Soden it represents recension established by Lucian in Antioch about A.D. 300.[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixture of the Byzantine families in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, with some relationship to Π groups.[4]
