The codex contains the text of the New Testament (except Gospels) on 375 parchment leaves (25.3 cm by 16.3 cm) with lacunae (Acts 5:5-26; 7:56-8:8; 9:37-10:4; Rev. 10:4-11:1; 22:17-21). The text is written in one column per page, in 23 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin.[4]

It contains Prolegomena to the Catholic and Pauline epistles, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), and subscriptions in the Pauline epistles (at the end of each epistle).[4]

At the end of the Epistle to the Romans it has subscription: εγραφη η προς Ρωμαιους επιστολη δια Τερτιου επεμφτη δε δια Φοιβης απο Κορινθιων.[5]
