The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 341 parchment leaves (size 29.6 cm by 21.5 cm).[3]
The text is written in two columns per page, 37-47 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is no another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (with references to the Eusebian Canons).[6] It contains Prolegomena and tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel. It has a commentary of Theophylact.[6]
Folio 342 is classified as Lectionary 61.[3]

It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]
History
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 13th century, Gregory dated it to the 13th or 14th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (747) and Gregory (729). It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[9] Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[6]
