It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, "hypothesis" (explanatory of using the Eusebian Canons), lists of the κεφαλαια before every Gospel, numerals of the κεφαλαια at the margin, the τιτλοι at the top, the Ammonian sections (in Mark 234 - 16:9), the Eusebian Canons (in the same line as the number of Ammonian Section),[n 1] lectionary markings (for liturgical use), incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and numerous pictures.[4] The first page of the Gospel and some other portions of the manuscript are decorated in gold, with luxurious miniatures.[3]
