Description
The codex contains a part of the Gospel of John (16:3-19:41), with a commentary on 6 parchment leaves (29 cm by 18.5 cm). It is written in one column per page, 36 lines per page, in about 27 letters in line. The letters are small, parchment is thick, ink is brown. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical service).
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given in the margin of text, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It belongs to the same manuscript to which minuscule codex 392 belongs (folios 7-391).
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with some non-Byzantine readings. Aland, with some hesitation, placed it in Category V.
