The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, but added by a later hand.[3]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel. Lectionary markings at the margin, and incipits wereadded by a later hand. The biblical text is surrounded by a catena of the authorship of Euthymius Zigabenus.[3][4]

The text of John 21:6-25 was added by a later hand.[3]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] The manuscript was examined by Wettstein, Scholz, and Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]
