It contains many readings close to Syriac Philoxenian.[5]
It has unique reading in Matthew 27:62.[6]

History
Griesbach dated the manuscript to the 10th century.
The manuscript once belonged to César de Missy.[6]
Jackson collated the text of the manuscript for Wettstein in 1748.[8][5] It was examined by Griesbach and wrongly classified by him as a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.[9]
According to Scrivener it was held in the Earl of Winchelsea's Library, but in 1883 Earl of Winchelsea wrote to Gregory that he did not have any Gospel manuscripts.[6]
Currently the manuscript is housed in the Chester Beatty Library (Ms. W 135), in Dublin.[2]
