Description
[edit]The codex contains the text of the Book of Acts, Catholic epistles and Pauline epistles, on 137 parchment leaves (size 25.8 cm by 15.3 cm).[3][4]
The text is written in one column per page, and 36 lines per page.[3][4][5]

Text
[edit]Kurt Aland the Greek text of the codex placed in Category III in the Pauline epistles, and in Category V elsewhere.[6] It means it is a representative of the Byzantine text-type in the Pauline epistles. In the rest of books of the New Testament its text is of higher quality.[7]

It is currently housed in the Biblioteca de El Escorial (C. III. 10) in Escurial.[3][4]
