The codex contains the text of the Acts, Epistle of James, and First Epistle of Peter on 84 parchment leaves (size 15.9 cm by 10.6 cm), with lacunae (Acts 1:1-5:29; 6:14-7:11). The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page.[2]
It contains double Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια before each book, numbers of the κεφαλαια at the margin, the τιτλοι at the top of the pages, Lectionary markings at the margin, and subscriptions at the end of each book.
