The codex contains the text of the New Testament except Gospels on 164 parchment leaves (size 30 cm by 23 cm), with two large lacunae (Acts 1:8-19:12; Galatians 2:21-1 Timothy 4:10). The lacking texts were supplemented by two hands on paper in the 13th century. The text is written in two columns per page, 31 lines per page. [2]

It contains Prolegomena, στιχοι, some notes to the Acts, and numerous notes to the Pauline and Catholic epistles. [4] [3] It has Euthalian Apparatus, but incomplete. [4] The text of Epistles is surrounded by a catena, the Apocalypse has a commentary. [3]

It contains treatise of Pseudo-Dorotheus on the Seventy disciples and twelve apostles (as codices 82, 93, 177, 459, 614, 699). [4]

The order of books: Acts of the Apostles, Pauline epistles, Catholic epistles, and Book of Revelation. Hebrews is placed after Epistle to Philemon. [4]

History

The manuscript belonged to the metropolitan of Ephesus Neophytus in 1481. It was bought for the library in "Gallicio" in 1624. [4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886. [4] The text of the Apocalypse was collated by Herman C. Hoskier. [6]

Formerly it was labeled by 140a, 215p, and 74r. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 617 to it. [1]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z. 546 (786)), at Venice. [2]
