The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The text of the four Gospels has also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241 Sections, the last section in 16:20), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each sacred book, lectionary markings at the margin, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, subscriptions at the end of each book, and Euthalian Apparatus to the Pauline epistles.[3] It has scholia.[4]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20, and belongs to the textual cluster 74. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]
In 1359 the manuscript was on island Scio.[4] The manuscript together with 386, 388, and 389 belonged to Giovanni Angelo Herzog von Altaemps († 1627).[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7]
It was examined and described by Giuseppe Cozza-Luzi.[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Ottob. gr. 381) in Rome.[2]
