| Parchment, 2 f., 235 × 185 mm,
1 col., 27 lines per page.
Majuscule.

Ps. 135–136; 140–142; (scriptura inferior).
| 2 leaves from one codex; the lower margin is cut off, but no loss of text; both leaves originally formed a double leaf; another leaf has fallen out between the two; the column of script comprises an average of 27 lines of ca. 15cm width, but the vertical ruling is frequently overwritten; the margins vary between 1.3 and 1.9 cm; the text is complete with the exception of a few broken letters; Turner OT 156 erroneously refers data from leaf 5 (see previous entry), which he omits from his list, to the present codex. For the latter, a type area of ca. 21.5 × 15.5 and a page size of 26.5 × 18.5 are calculated; Turner: 28 × 18.5 cm = group VI, cf. p. 28. Upright, round majuscule with a slight left slant; orthography predominantly irregular; nomen sacrum spelling: θς, κς, ιηλ, ιλημ, ανος, ουνος, πνα; conspicuous: Διδ for Δαυίδ and ονι for ὀνόματι; written in stichoi, continuation of stitches mostly indented on subsequent line or by overwriting; partly deviating stichoi division.
