The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with a number of Caesarean readings.<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. 77.</ref> Aland placed it in Category V.[1]
In Matthew 1:11 it has addition τον Ιωακιμ, Ιωακιμ δε εγεννεσεν (Ioakim, Ioakim begot) supported by the manuscripts Codex Koridethi, f1, 33, syrh and other manuscripts.[1]
It contains the pericope John 7:53-8:11 in its early stage. In John 8:11 it has interpolation: τουτο δε ειπαν πειραζοντες αυτον ινα εχωσιν κατηγοριαν κατ κατ αυτου. It does not supported by any other manuscript.[1]

It was examined and described by Montfaucon (with picture), Giuseppe Bianchini,[1] Wettstein, Scholz, Tischendorf, Tregelles, and Scrivener.[1]
Synaxarion and Menologion were published by Scholz in the same place as those of Codex Cyprius, and with careleness.<ref name = Tischendorf/>
Currently the codex is located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 48) in Paris.<ref name = Aland/>
