HIEROGLYPHIC WRITING
65
A kind of hieratic writing existed already in the period of the first dynasty. In course of time, it developed more and more till it became rather obscure. In the seventh century B.C., when, as we shall see below, the demotic writing came into being, hieratic became in practice the script of the priestly class and was used mainly for literal transcription of religious and other traditional texts; it continued to be used extensively by priests in all periods, and was employed up till the third century A.D.
