It contains the tables of κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin of the text, the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages, and pictures.[4] It has no prolegomena.[3]

The text of John's ending on 21:24, and verse 25 were added by a later hand.[3]
