Text of Luke 24:46-53 was supplied by a later hand.[1] The text is written in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[3] It was written by several hands.[6]
The tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before every Gospel. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) with the τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially).[5] It contains a lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[6]
The Old Testament quotations are marked on the margin. N ephelkystikon is rare.[7]
