Codex Mosquensis II designated by V or 031 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 75 (von Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated palaeographically to the 9th-century. The manuscript is lacunose.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 220 parchment leaves (15.7 cm by 11.5 cm), with some lacunae (Matthew 5:44-6:12, 9:18-10:1, 22:44-23:35, John 21:10-fin.). The leaves are arranged in octavo.
The text of the manuscript is written in one column per page, 28 lines per page, in small and fine uncial letters, in a kind of stichometry. It contains accents, but punctuation is rare.

It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian tables, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before Gospels, but there are no a divisions according to the κεφαλαια (chapters). The text is divided only according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons; it has lectionary markings. According to Matthaei it is written in a kind of stichometry by a diligent scribe.
The manuscript contains a portion from Chronology of Hippolitus from Theben.
The text of the Gospel of John 8:39-21:10 is written in minuscule letters on 10 parchment leaves.
