Vellum, 8 3/8 in. by 5 ½, consisting of 105 leaves, some of which are slightly stained and torn, especially near the beginning and end. Originally the book was made up of 13 quires, of which the sixth and the last are now wanting, and several others are imperfect, leaves being missing after foll. 2, 7, and 11. They have been twice signed with letters (see foll. 16, 46, and 56), but at neither time correctly. Each page contains from 20 to 25 lines. The character is a good, regular Estrangela of the vith or viith cent. Vowels have sometimes been added by a later hand (ܻܰܽ, ܻܽ,ܻܺܽ, ܻܳܽ,, , ).
