The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 331 paper leaves (size), with only one lacuna (John 21:3-25).[3] [6]

The text is written in one column per page, 32 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is no another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (with references to the Eusebian Canons).[6]

It contains Prolegomena and tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel. It has a commentary of Zigabenus.[6]
