It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, a division according to the Ammonian Sections, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers of στιχοι. It lacks references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
Biblical text is surrounded by a catena. In the Gospel of Mark, the commentary is of Victorinus's authorship.[3]
