The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. It is very close to the Byzantine uncial manuscripts: E, F, G, H, K, M, S, U, and V.[6] Manuscripts E, F, G, H, S, U belong to the textual family E, one of the oldest families of the Byzantine text-type.[7]

History
Constantin von Tischendorf dated the manuscript to the 7th century. According to him it was written before the 9th century, and is one of the oldest lectionary Gospels (Evangelistarion).[6] Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 7th or 8th century.[4] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 8th century.[1][2]
The manuscript was examined by Scholz. The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 175e) and Gregory (number 269e). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]
The text of the codex was deciphered and edited by Tischendorf in Monumenta sacra inedita (1855).[9]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[10]
The codex is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I.49 (1213), fol. 251–254) in Venice.[1][2]
