In Greek., Script: This codex is composed of three distinct sections. Part I (ff. 1-133): Written by two scribes.

Signature added later., Part I: Small initials and chapter headings, in red. Part II: Some rubrication., The codex is stained throughout; mending tape and worm holes frequently render the text illegible., and Binding: 16th-17th centuries. Four chain-stitched supports link the quires and are laced into square-edged, flush, wooden boards with grooved edges. Colored, beaded endbands are sewn on fine cords attached to the boards. There are two twisted thread placemarks attached to the headband. The edges are bright yellow; the spine round and smooth with a spine lining extending across about one third of the outside of the wooden boards. Covered in dark brown goatskin, blind-tooled with an x surrounded with diamond-shaped tools stamped at random, within an outer border. One board is mended and both have small lumps in corners and center where bosses would normally be, underneath the present cover. There are traces of plaster where the leather is worn through over the lumps. There are two pins in the edge of the upper board, three corresponding holes going through both board and pastedown in the lower. Straps wanting. Flyleaf of the 11th century from a Latin liturgical manuscript.
