Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type.[5] Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]
