The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 261 cotton paper leaves ({{×|31.4|23}}) with one lacuna (John 21:6-25). The text is written in one column per page, in 51-54 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the {{lang|grc|κεφαλαια}} (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the {{lang|grc|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.
It contains tables of the {{lang|grc|κεφαλαια}} (tables of contents) before each Gospel. Lectionary markings at the margin, and incipits were added by a later hand. The biblical text is surrounded by a catena of the authorship of Euthymius Zigabenus.{{Cite book
