- In Greek and Latin., Watermarks on f. ii similar to Briquet Main 10713; ff. 1-48 similar to Harlfinger Homme 21; f. 49 similar to Briquet Ancre 428; ff. 51-67 similar to Briquet Chapeau 3384; ff. 69-80 similar to Briquet Balance 2506; ff. 81-96 similar to Briquet Lettre R 8938., Script: The manuscript is divided into 4 parts, which do not correspond precisely with the divisions of the text. Part I (ff. 1r-50v): Written in small, neat Greek minuscule. The parallel Latin translation (ff. 1r-9v only) is in italic, about the same size as the Greek; probably added later, since it is written around some marginal rubrics for the Greek text.

Part IV: 7-line initials in black and orange-tinted red; stylized leaves and vines, with a bird on f. 83v. Diagrams in red traced over black., and Binding: Nineteenth century.

- Abstract:
- Manuscript on parchment (thick; most leaves palimpsest: religious text of the 10th century, in a small, regular Greek minuscule is faintly visible) of Miscellaneous prayers.

- Abstract:
- Manuscript on paper (polished) of Scholia on Hesiod, Works; the text breaks off abruptly at the end of the commentary for line 755, where Scribe 2 has finished the final 12 lines begun by Scribe 1.
- Description:
- In Greek., Watermarks: Briquet Ancre 592 and similar to Briquet Arbalete 744, Tete de boeuf 14867 and Harlfinger Ancre 83., Script: Written in two distinct hands.

Scribe 2 supplied the first two verses of each Hesiod passage under discussion, wrote the final twelve lines of commentary contained in the codex (ff. 68v-69r), and added the heading and initials in red. All the additions of Scribe 2 are in a darker ink and bolder style of writing; he is the same scribe as that in MS 257, and as Scribe 3 in MS 290 and Scribe 1 in MS 490., Two headpieces in black ink (ff. 1r, 9r); heading and two initials on f. 1r in red., and Binding: 18th-19th centuries.
