Hieratic Ostracon with the beginning of "The Wisdom of Amenemope" 525-404 BC Late Period, Persian Period A series of ostraka from the excavation of tomb of Nespekashuty have been examined in a forthcoming study: they seem to have been left by a single not particularly skilled scribe, who mixed cursive hieroglyphic and hieratic scripts. The texts include practice lists, random jottings, dated accounts and even the beginning of a New Kingdom literary text, "The Wisdom of Amenemope."The texts postdate the tomb, probably to the Persian Period according to palaeography (handwriting style)..

From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Nespakashuty (TT 312, MMA 509a), MMA excavations, 1922-23. Dynasty 27
