The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 309 leaves (size 22.8 cm by 17.8 cm). Written stichometrically in one column per page, 22 lines per page.[1][2] John 5:3.4 is marked by obelus.[2] It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian tables, tables of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, the Ammonian Sections (Matthew 355, Mark 234, Luke 342, John 232), Eusebian Canons στιχοι, and subscriptions.[2][3] The last verse in Gospel of John was supplied by a later hand.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] It is a member of the textual family E (Soden's Ki).

History

In 1674 archbishop of Proconesus presented this manuscript to John Covel (1637-1722), british chaplain in Constantinople, and in 1677 it came to England.[5] The manuscript was examined by Mill and Griesbach.[2] Griesbach gave for it number 167 on his list.

It is currently housed at the British Library as a part of the Harleian Collection (5776), at London.[1]
