The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, (references to the Eusebian Canons were added by a later hand).[3]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, Prolegomena, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, Synaxarion, and Menologion.[3][4]
