• Interleaved with a printed lectionary text in Greek with Latin headings. In general, each printed leaf is separated from the next by at least one or two manuscript leaves. The manuscript leaves are the same height as the printed leaves, but often of slightly greater width.
• The manuscript text is generally written out to the edges of the leaf, leaving no margins and no gutter. Thus on many leaves the wearing of the edges has obscured portions of the text.
• The printed Greek lectionary text has a separate record. To obtain it, do a keyword search for the phrase Ms. Codex 216.
