The commentary on Mark is of Victor,[4] mixed up with the text, both in slovenly hand.[3]
It contains synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures. The tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) were added by a later hand before each Gospel. At the end of each Gospel were added subscriptions with numbers of verses.[4] Mark 16:9-20 was marked by an obelus as doubtful.
The text of Matthew 1:1-4:11 was supplied by a later hand.[4]
