Description
The codex contains 344 parchment leaves (16.7cm by 10.7cm), written in one column per page, 19 lines per page. Pericope de adultera omitted by the original scribe, has been added in the margin by a later hand. It contains κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, and lectionary markings.
The codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[1] It belongs to the textual family K1.
Cited in Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, because of its date.
