Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 349 parchment leaves (size 16.7 cm by 13.1 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, in 24 lines per page (size of column 9.2 by 6.8 cm),[2][3] in dark-brown ink, the large initial letters in gold, small initial letters in red.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections, the last in 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (in gold).[3][4]
It contains Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, αναγνωσεις (lessons), pictures, synaxaria, and Menologion (added in 1418).[3][4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx. According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. It creates textual cluster 183. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]
It creates textual cluster with minuscule 793.
