Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr. Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method, it represents the textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It creates a textual subgroup with 35.[8]

The text of the Pericope Adulterae is marked by an obelus.[6]

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th century;[5] Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th or 15th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 14th century.[4]

In 1870 it was presented to Nicholas form Athens.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (847)[5] and Gregory (758). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[6]
