Minuscule 124 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1211 (Von Soden numbering), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on 188 thick parchment leaves (21.7 by 18.8 cm). Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th-century. It has marginalia and liturgical matter. The manuscript is quoted in edition of the Novum Testamentum Graece.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with only one lacunae (Luke 23:31-24:28). The text is written in two columns per page, 25-28 lines per page. The initial letters are written in red and blue. It was corrected by the first hand.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers), and the harmony written at the bottom.
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, liturgical books with hagiographies (synaxaria and Menologion).
According to the colophon, the Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew 8 years after the Lord's Ascension, that of Mark was written in Latin 10 years after the Ascension, Luke, in Greek, 15 years after, and John 32 years after.
