The text of Matthew 4:3-5:5 was supplied by a later hand. The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page.[3] [4]

The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), and according to the smaller Ammonian Sections. The numbers of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια are given at the margin, and their Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. The numbers of the Ammonian Sections are given with a references to the Eusebian Canons (written under Ammonian Sections) at the margin.

It contains Prolegomena, the tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (table of contents) precede each Gospel.[5] [6]
