There are no divisions as the κεφαλαια or the Ammonian Sections.
The Greek text of the codex Kurt Aland did not place in any Category.[7]
It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]
The textual character of the codex can not be determined because it is a fragmentary condition.
Gregory dated it to the 11th or 12th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th or 12th century.[4]
The manuscript was brought to America in 1844 from Crete, by George Benton (along with Minuscule 669).[6] Formerly it belonged to La Crescenta/California, W.-L. Hall-Benton.[3][4]
The manuscript was examined by Harris and Clark.
Currently the manuscript belongs to a private collection. Officially its owner is unknown.[3][4]
