The codex contains 6-7 fragmentary leaves, and seven small fragments. The size of original page was (37 centimetres (15 in) by 27.5 centimetres (10.8 in)). The text is written in two columns per page, in 12-18 lines per page (original in 20 lines per page). The initial letters are written at the margin of column; they are increased simply and are formed about 3 lines or 3-5 lines.[1]
The column block seems as much as possible breaking the words on the banks; punctuation mark are given in the centre of lines, with only small spaces. Diaeresis is used after the usual circumference. The Old Testament quotation in John 1:23 is marked by an obelus at the margin.[1] It is unusual because the quotations usually are marked by inverted comma, obelus is used only for a spurious text.
The text is divided into κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the left margin. The text of Matthew and Luke is divided according to the Greek way, the text of John - according to the Coptic way.[1]
The Nomina Sacra are written in contracted way.[1]
It contains only fragments of the Gospels: Matthew, Luke, and John.
