The codex contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Epistles, and Book of Revelation, on 323 parchment leaves (28.9 by 22.7 cm), with lacunae.[1] Written in two columns per page, 36 lines per page. It contains prolegomena, Joournays of Paul, lists of κεφαλαια, lectionary equipment, subscriptions, and στιχοι.[2]
