Abbreviations are rarely used in the codex. The handwriting is very close to that of the [[Rossano Gospels]].<ref name = Pocock137a>N.

It uses grammatical forms typical of the ancient manuscripts (e.g. ειπαν, ηλθαν, ευραν), which are not used in later medieval manuscripts.<ref name = Pocock137a/>

[[William Hatch]] in 1937, on the basis of palaeographical data, suggested that the codex should be dated to the 6th century. It does not use breathings and accents and the text of the commentary is written in uncial script.<ref>William Hatch, [https://archive.org/stream/MN41361ucmf_0#page/n425/mode/2up ''A redating of two important uncial manuscripts of the Gospels – Codex Zacynthius and Codex Cyprius''], in: ''Quantulacumque'' studies presented to Kirsopp Lake ([c1937]), ss. 335-337.</ref> Aland supported Hatch's point of view.<ref group = "n">UBS3 from 1983 dated the manuscript to the 8th century (UBS3, p. XVI.), but in the second edition of ''Der Text des Neues Testaments'' (1989) Aland dated it to the 6th century. NA26 from 1991 dated it to the 6th century (NA26, p. 693.).</ref> This date is accepted by the majority of scholars.<ref name = Aland/><ref name = Waltz/>
[[David C. Parker]] in 2004 argued that manuscript was written later than the 6th century, because it has a small number of square letters, and the handwriting is not typical for the 6th century. Some letters were compressed (Μ, Δ, Ε), the bar over the letter Τ is short and the letter Υ is written in several ways. According to Parker the manuscript should be dated to the 7th century.<ref>{{Cite book | last = Parker | first = David C. | title = Manuscripts, texts, theology: collected papers 1977-2007 | url = http://paperc.de/2617-manuscripts-texts-theology-9783110211948#!/pages/115 | publisher = Walter de Gruyter | ___location = Berlin | year = 2009 | page = 115 | isbn = 978-3-11-021193-1 | access-date = 2011-10-08 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101219025836/http://paperc.de/2617-manuscripts-texts-theology-9783110211948#!/pages/115 | archive-date = 2010-12-19 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
