Description
editThe commentaries are placed in the Western order (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark). Three first Gospels used commentaries of Chrysostom, Gospel of Mark – Victorin's commentary.[2]
The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page.[1]
The manuscript is written in semi-uncial variously listed as an uncial and a minuscule, is reported as "very peculiar in its style and beautifully written". Hermann von Soden did not include it in his catalog. According to some scholars it is a commentary rather, but not a manuscript of New Testament.
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, but Aland did not placed it in any Category.[1] It is one of very few uncial manuscripts not cited in Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece.
