Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 228 parchment leaves (22.9 cm by 15 cm) with some lacunae (Matt. 1:1-17; 26:47-27:40; Mark 1:1-9; Luke 1:1-18; John 1:1-21). Written in one column per page, in 25 lines per page.[1] It contains lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 232), and lectionary markings, Synaxarion, Menologion, and subscriptions. It has not the Eusebian Canons.[2][3] It is clearly but unskilfully written. All lacunae were made by a man who mischievously cut out the ornaments.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]

It is currently housed at the British Library (Harley 5777) in London.[1]
