- Paper, about 5 7/8 in. by 4, consisting of 114 leaves, many of which are much soiled and torn, especially foll. 1, 9, 11, 18, 36, 40—42, 50, 51, 55—60, 91—97, 100, 113, and 114. The quires, signed with letters, are now 12 in number; but leaves are wanting after foll. 8, 10, 97, and 106, as well as at the end. There are from 7 to 11 lines in each page.

The first eight leaves are written in a neat, regular hand of the xivth or xvth cent., with many Greek and Syriac vowels.

The rest, though of the same date, are very badly written.

[N.B., folio location may not be available for some items below.]

On fol. 105 a, the scribe has recorded his name, Domitius.
