Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[8] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[9] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20 as perfect member of the family.[8] Textually it is close to the codex 201. In some cases it supports readings of the codices Vaticanus, Ephraemi Rescriptus, Bezae, Cyprius, and Regius.[7]Template:R/superscript
