The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 297 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 15.9 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page (size of text 13.9 by 9.7) in brown ink.[3] According to Scrivener it is written by an elegant hand.[4]

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. The titles in gold. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 sections – 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
