The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]
It contains the Eusebian Canon tables, tables of κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings for liturgical reading, and number of verses at the end of each Gospel.[6][3]
