Hieratic

Hieratic was a cursive form of the Egyptian hieroglyphic script, used in ancient Egypt for everyday writing on papyrus, pottery, and wood. It is no longer used.
Hieratic developed alongside hieroglyphics from about 3200 B.C. and was used for letters, administrative records, and literary and religious texts written with a reed brush. Its name comes from the Greek for "priestly," because by the time of the Greeks it was used mainly for religious texts. After about 650 B.C. it was largely replaced for everyday use by the even more cursive Demotic script.
