The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 sections, the last section in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section mnumbers).
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures.
