After reading this article I regretfully have to fail it mainly due to criteria 1A, but to a lesser degree 3b. The lead consists of just three disjointed sentences. There are many ungrammatical sentences; The text is written in one column per page, in 26 lines per page,[2] with a wide margins (size of the text is 16 cm by 10.5 cm). Folios 1–13 were added on paper (possibly in the 16th century), with small initials and simple headpiece in red, It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Griesbach, who gave for it number 113, It is believed that Constantinople can be possible place of its origin. What is the purpose of the large list of textual variants written in Greek. Why is there a question mark in brackets here, According to the inscription on the first folio it once belonged to Botiros (?).

The main problem is the prose. It is far too short, sharp and repetitive, example Griesbach dated the manuscript to the 10th or 11th century. Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th century.[4] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 11th century. Much of the article reads like a list. I am guessing English is not your native language and it is great that you are writing articles on specialised topics, but the prose will take a lot of effort to fix and with so many nominations it is for the best to fail this article.
