Codex Dublinensis designated by Z or 035 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 26 (von Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated palaeographically to the 6th century. The manuscript is lacunose.
The codex contains a portions of the text of Gospel of Matthew, on 32 parchment leaves (27 cm by 20 cm), with numerous lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per column, in 27 letters in line.
The uncial letters are large, broad, attractive, and very precise. The letters are larger than in codices Alexandrinus and Vaticanus, but smaller than in Codex Petropolitanus Purpureus.
It is a palimpsest. The upper text is a patristic written in a minuscule hand, John Chrysostom contributing has the largest share. The codex contains the Ammonian Sections, but there is no the Eusebian Canons. No breathings or accents. The Old Testament quotations are indicated by >. Letter μ is very peculiar, it looks like inverted Π.
Itacistic errors are present, e.g. αι with ε confused, and ι with ει.
