The text is also divided according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 240, the last section in 16:19), whose numbers are given at the margin, but there are not a references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]
The manuscript contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning. It contains lectionary markings at the margin, Synaxarion, Menologion, subscriptions at the end, and pictures.[5]
