- Vellum, about 9 3/4 in. by 6 5/8, consisting of 78 leaves, the last of which is much torn and otherwise injured. The quires, signed with letters, were originally 21 in number, but only the last eight (ܝܕ--ܟܐ) now remain. Each page is divided into two columns, of from 32 to 39 lines.

This manuscript is written in a fine, regular Estrangělā, and dates from about the middle of the viith cent. (see additions); with the exception of foll. 71 and 72, which are two or three centuries later.

- Colophon

After the doxology, there is a shorter note, in a more cursive character, giving the name of the scribe, John.

ܘܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܟܬܒ̣ ܩܘܒܠ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܢ ܘܐܠܗܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ̣ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ܀

- Colophon

Of the note in the second column of fol. 78 a, part has been torn away, and much of the remainder erased. Enough, however, remains to show that the manuscript was written in the year of the Greeks 96—, A.D 65—, for the monks of a convent called ܚܝܢܐ, of which one Leontius was abbat.
