- Vellum, about 5 5/8 in. by 3 7/8, consisting of 88 leaves, many of which are much stained and soiled, and a few of them torn, especially foll. 1, 87, and 88. The quires have no signatures, and the first is imperfect, a leaf being wanting at the beginning. The number of lines in each page varies from 10 to 20. This manuscript is palimpsest throughout.

A first of perhaps two hands, in an inelegant character of the xith or xiith cent.

A potential second hand, in an inelegant character of the xith or xiith cent.

- On fol. 36 b the scribe has, with good reason, written the words:

ܫܒܘܩ ܠܝ ܐܚܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܐܢܐ ܟܬܘܒܐ. ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠ ܠܐ ܬܥܕܘܠ ܐܠܐ ܒܒܥܘ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܩܪܐ ܢܨܠܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܣܐ ܠܗ ܐܡܝܢ..

- At the top are the following words, probably meaning ܝܘܢܢ, Jonas, the name of the scribe or of a reader:

ܡܪܢ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܝܝܘܢܢ (sic) ܠܚܛܝܬܝ
