The text is divided according to the Script error: No such module "Lang". (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their Script error: No such module "Lang". (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, the last in 16:20), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
It contains tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical reading), Script error: No such module "Lang". (lessons), and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel (later hand), with numbers of Script error: No such module "Lang"..[3] It is correctly written. Lacuna at Matthew 1:1–11:1 was supplied by a later hand in the 14th century on a paper.[4]
