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

History

The manuscript formerly was held at the Pantokratoros monastery at Mount Athos. It was brought to England and belonged to Richard Bentley (as Minuscule 489), who presented it to the Trinity College.^[3][2]

The manuscript was examined and collated by Scrivener, who 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 Trinity College (B. X. 17) in Cambridge.^[1]
