Minuscule 699 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ104 (von Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. Some leaves of the manuscript were lost. Scrivener labelled it by 603e.
The codex contains the text of the New Testament on 369 parchment leaves (size 29.3 cm by 20.6 cm), with some lacunae (Romans 16:19-27; 1 Cor 1:1-11; 2 Cor 10:9-13:13; Gal 1:1-12). Four leaves are unfoliated on paper. The order of books is usual for the Greek manuscripts: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles (Hebrews before 1 Timothy), Apocalypse.
The text is written in one column per page, 30 lines per page. The text of Matthew 23:1-20 was supplied by a later hand. The headpieces in colour and gold, the large initials in colours and gold, at the beginning of books, small initials in red and gold.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the left margin; the τιτλοι (titles) are given at the top or bottom of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, the last section in 16:20), but there are no references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel, lectionary markings in the margin, and subscriptions at the end, Synaxarion, and Menologion. It contains many brief scholia on the margin made by prima manu. At the end on three leaves are unfinished επιγραμμα of Pseudo-Dorotheus, Bishop of Tyre, on the Seventy disciples and the 12 Apostles.
