In Hebrews 3:3 it reads μεχρι τελους κατασχωμεν βεβαιαν for κατασχωμεν. The reading is supported only by itc.[6]

History of the codex

The manuscript belonged to the monastery of the Dominican Order. It was borrowed by Desiderius Erasmus and used by him in his edition of the Novum Testamentum (1516). Sometimes he used some of its marginal readings instead of main text readings (e.g. Acts 8:37; 15:34; 24:6-8).[2] In result some of its readings became a part of the Textus Receptus.

It was examined by Battier (for John Mill), Wettstein.[2]

Currently the codex is located at the Basel University Library (Cod. A.N.IV.5), at Basel.[1]
