Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[7] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[8]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents mixed Byzantine text, related to the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[7]
In Luke 8:21 it reads αυτον instead of αυτους;[6] the reading αυτον is supported by Papyrus 75, and Codex Veronensis.[9]
