The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke on 224 paper leaves (size 26.4 cm by 17 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 31 lines per page.[2] The evangelical text is surrounded by a commentary of Theophylact.[3]

At the end of the manuscript it has extracts from Gregory of Nyssa.[3]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[5]

History

Formerly the manuscript was held in the Iberian monastery at Athos peninsula. It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676).[6] The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.

The manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 92, S. 388) at Moscow.[2]
