hieratic script
Hieratic script is a cursive writing system used in the ancient Egyptian culture primarily by priests and scribes for religious texts and literary and scientific works. It is derived from the earlier pictorial hieroglyphs, but unlike them, hieratic is written in ink with a reed brush and is much more abstract and simplified. Hieratic script was used from the 1st dynasty to around 600 BC when it was replaced by the demotic script.
