The text is written in one column per page, 27-28 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (only in Mark), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]
It contains lectionary markings and inartistic pictures.[5]
