Kurt Aland placed the Greek text of the codex in Category V.^[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family K^r in Luke 1 and Luke 20, and creates textual pair with 588. In Luke 10 no profile was made.^[7]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.^[5]
