The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.^[4]

History

The manuscript was once in the Trinity monastery at Chalke. It was brought from the East to England by Carlyle (1759-1804), professor of Arabic, together with the manuscripts 470, 471, 472, 473, 475, 488.^[2]

The manuscript was examined by J. Farrer in 1804, Scrivener, and Gregory. Scrivener collated and published its text in 1852.^[3] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener.

It is currently housed at the Lambeth Palace (1179) in London.^[1]
