Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type. It belongs to the textual family known as family 13, or Ferrar group. The manuscripts of the Ferrar group were derived from an uncial ancestor once located in southern Italy (Calabria) or Sicily in the 7th century.<ref>Bruce M. Metzger, Bart D. Ehrman, The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration, Oxford University Press, New York, Oxford 2005, p. 87.</ref> Aland placed it in Category III. Collated in 1868 by W. H. Ferrar, and published posthumoustly by T. K. Abbott in the book A Collation of Four Important Manuscripts of the Gospels. Ferrar regarded codices 13, 69, 124, 346 as transcripts of one archetype.[4]
In Matthew 1:16 it has the same textual reading as Codex Koridethi, Curetonian Syriac, and rest of the manuscripts of the Ferrar Family.[5]
History
It is believed the manuscript was written in Calabria or Sicilia.[6]
It was in private hands, and belonged to Peter Teller, like codices 10, 11. It became part of Kuster's collection (Paris 6).[7]
It was examined by Wettstein, Griesbach, and Birch.
The codex is located now at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 50) at Paris.[8]
