The text is written in one column per page, biblical text in 25 lines per page, and commentary text in 46 lines per page. The biblical text is surrounded by a catena (Victor's on St. Mark). Text of Matthew begins in 3:7. Catena is similar to that of 34. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin.
