The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 232 parchment leaves (size 13.5 cm by 10.3 cm) with some lacunae[3] (Matthew 1:1-10; Mark 1:1-10; 15:4 [14:60]-16:20; Luke 1:1-12; John 1:1-16)[4] The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[3][5] It contains one fragment of Apostolos. The portraits of the Evangelists and the decorated headpieces were lost.[1]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given art the margin, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]

It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and lectionary markings at the margin, Synaxarion, Menologion, and subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels.[1][4]
