It is written in Greek minuscule letters, on 180 parchment leaves (21 cm by 15 cm), 1 column per page, 16-28 lines per page.[1][2] It is a Palimpsest, the lower earlier text was written by uncial hand, it contains another lectionary ( 1954) and text of Mark 3:15-32; 5:16-31 from the 8th century, classified as Uncial 0134.[1] The earlier uncial text is difficult to read.
