The manuscript contains the text of the four Gospels on 306 parchment leaves (22.3 cm by 17.4 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 23 lines per page.[2] The capital letters are written in colour.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin of the text, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Mark 234), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]

It contains prolegomena of Cosmas (added by a later hand), tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings (later hand) at the margin, and pictures. Subscriptions with numbers of στιχοι and numbers of verses were added at the end of each Gospel by a later hand.[3] It has many corrections in the margin and between the lines.[4]
