Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 170 parchment leaves (28 cm by 20.9 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, in 25 lines per page.[2] The text of John 1:19-25 was supplied by a later hand in the 18th century.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections, 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures, and marginal corrections.[3]
It is a palimpsest. The text of minuscule 395 is the upper text of the palimpsest. The lower text is unidentified, written in two columns with 30 lines in columns.[3]
