Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 220 parchment leaves (15.7 cm by 11.5 cm), with some lacunae (Matthew 5:44-6:12, 9:18-10:1, 22:44-23:35, John 21:10-fin.). The leaves are arranged in octavo.[2]
The text of the manuscript is written in one column per page, 28 lines per page,[1] in small and fine uncial letters,[2] in a kind of stichometry. It contains accents, but punctuation is rare.
The codex is written in uncial letters to John 8:39, where it breaks off, and from that point the text is continued in a minuscule hand from the 13th century.[3]
It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian tables, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before Gospels, but there are no a divisions according to the κεφαλαια (chapters). The text is divided only according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons; it has lectionary markings.[2] According to Matthaei it is written in a kind of stichometry by a diligent scribe.[4]
The manuscript contains a portion from Chronology of Hippolitus from Theben.[2]
John 8:39-21:10
The text of the Gospel of John 8:39-21:10 is written in minuscule letters on 10 parchment leaves.[5]
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given at the margin with references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains Synaxarion.[2]:{{{3}}}
The minuscule text was designated by Griesbach as 87, by Scholz as 250.
Text
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[1] It is a member of the textual family Family E.[6] It has some textual resemblance to Codex Campianus.[4]

History and present Location
Formerly the manuscript was held at the monastery Vatopedi at Athos peninsula. It was brought to Moscow in 1655,[2] by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645–1676). The manuscript was collated by C.F. Matthaei.[8]
It was collated by Matthaei in 1779 and in 1783. In 1783 the manuscript lacked only the texts Matthew 22:44-23:35, John 21:10-fin.[2]:{{{3}}} It was one of the best manuscripts of Matthaei.[4] Constantin von Tischendorf used the work of Matthaei in his Novum Testamentum. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1868.[2] The manuscript was examined by Kurt Treu.[9]
In 1908 C. R. Gregory gave siglum 031 to it.
The codex is located now in the State Historical Museum (V. 9).[1]:{{{3}}}[10]
