Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^x.^[6] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.^[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual Family K^x in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 it represents a mixture of Byzantine families.^[6]

History

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 13th century.^[5] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.^[3]^[4]

The codex 943 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (35), in Mount Athos in 1886.^[5] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (122 (35)) in Athos.^[3]^[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (943^e).^[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.^[8]
