Writing (2)



Writing in antiquity was a particularly arduous business. It was done while seated on the ground with the tablet or papyrus suspended on one's garment between crossed legs. The reed pen had to be sharpened just so and the ink made by hand. It is no wonder that secretaries (γραμματείς, grammateis) with specialized knowledge of the mechanics of writing were usually employed in drafting one's writings
