At the time Caspar René Gregory originally allocated numbers to manuscripts, it was not known with certainty that uncials 064, 074 and 090 were from the one manuscript, because they are held in three locations:
- codex 064 in Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (Petrov 17), Kiev
- codex 074 in Saint Catherine's Monastery (Harris 10)
- codex 090 in National Library of Russia, Saint Petersburg (Gr. 276).[2]
It is a palimpsest. The upper text contains Syriac liturgica.[3]
