Description
The codex contains the text of the 2 Peter 2:4-3:18; 1 John 1:1-3:20 and Pauline epistles on 145 parchment leaves (size ) with some lacunae (1 Cor 11:7-15:56; Heb 11:27-13:25). Written in one column per page, in 24 lines per page,[1] in very small and beautiful minuscule letters.[2]
It contains Oecumenius' Prologue to the Romans, lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, and some marginal notes primâ manu. Text after 1 Timothy 6:5 was written by other hand, and far less careful. The manuscript exhibits throughout many abbreviations.[3]
