## History

Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century. It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 13th century.

It was bought in Constantinople in 1880 and brought to London. It was examined by W. F. Rose, who collated its text. W. F. Rose found it much to resemble Lectionary 184.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener $(281^e)$ and Gregory (number $333^e).$ Gregory saw it in 1883.

The codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 31208) in London.
