hieratic
Hieratic (Greek ''hieratika''; literally "priestly") is a cursive writing system used in the provenance of the pharaohs in Egypt and Nubia. It developed alongside cursive hieroglyphs,〔Goedicke 1988:vii–viii.〕 to which it is separate yet intimately related. It was primarily written in ink with a reed brush on papyrus, allowing scribes to write quickly without resorting to the time-consuming hieroglyphs.
==Etymology==
In the 2nd century AD, the term ''hieratic'' was first used by Saint Clement of Alexandria.〔Goedicke 1988:vii; Wente 2001:2006. The reference is made in Clement's ''(Stromata )'' 5:4.〕 It derives from the Greek phrase (''grammata hieratika''; literally "priestly writing"), as at that time, hieratic was used only for religious texts, as had been the case for the previous thousand years.
''Hieratic'' can also be an adjective meaning "()f or associated with sacred persons or offices; sacerdotal."〔(Definition of hieratic ), Free Online Dictionary. Retrieved 2011-10-23.〕
