The codex is now kept in a monastery (Great Lavra B' 52) at Athos peninsula.
Original codex contained entire of the New Testament except of the Book of Revelation. Actually it has lacunae at the beginning and end. The Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Mark 1:1-9:5, and one leaf from the Hebrews with text 8:11-9:19 have been lost.
The order of books: four Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, the General epistles, and the Pauline epistles. The General epistles are in an unusual order (1-2 Peter, James, 1-3 John, and Jude). The shorter ending of Mark is before the longer one (like in Codex Regius and all other Greek codices in which it appears).
The codex contains 261 parchment leaves (21 cm by 15.3 cm). The dimensions of text is 15 cm by 8,7 cm.
It was written in one column per page, 31 lines per page, in small uncial letters. The letters have breathings and accents. It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each book, the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 sections), Eusebian Canons, lectionary equipment on a margin (for liturgical use), musical notes (neumes), and subscriptions. It is one of the oldest manuscripts with musical notes.
