Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark, Gospel of Luke on 328 parchment leaves (33 cm by 23 cm), with a commentary. The text is written in one column per page, in 27-28 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the left margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[3] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena. On a margin were added, by a later hand, commentaries of Chrysostom's on Matthew, Victor's on Mark, and Titus of Bostra on Luke. Subscriptions to the first three Gospels are the same like that in codex 262. It has the famous Jerusalem Colophon.[4]
