This manuscript is notable for its intricate verse markers, featuring irregular golden 'hāʾ' letters for five-verse groupings and specific squares with golden alphanumeric characters for ten-verse groupings. The final surviving folio features an archaic, three-sided golden illuminated band decorated with red and green dots, indicating the approaching end of the codex.
