Hieratic
Hieratic refers to a cursive writing system that was used in the provenance of the pharaohs in Egypt and Nubia that developed alongside the hieroglyphic system, to which it is 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. In the 2nd century AD, the term hieratic was first used by Saint Clement of Alexandria. It derives from the Greek phrase γράμματα ἱερατικά, 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 "[o]f or associated with sacred persons or offices; sacerdotal."

It was primarily written in ink with a reed pen on papyrus.
