The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels with a commentary on 302 leaves (size 24 cm by 18.5 cm).[2] The parchment is thin. The biblical text written in 21 lines per page, the text of commentary in 54 lines per page.[3] It is written in very neat minuscule letters.[4] The initial letters are in colour.[3]

(titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 sections – the last in 16:8), and references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
