Abstract This chapter is concerned with the formal characteristics of Greek inscribed writing and their variety and evolution in the multicultural context of Ptolemaic Egypt. The palaeography of Ptolemaic inscriptions is considered in relation both to indigenous written traditions and to the development of documentary scripts in the papyri. The development of lettering styles in decrees and dedications is traced over the course of the Hellenistic period. The particular case of the lengthy multilingual decrees of Egyptian priestly synods is examined separately. Two concluding sections consider, respectively, a small number of inscriptions, for the dating of which palaeographical considerations may provide clarification, and the possibility of identifying individual stonecutters’ hands within the Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions.
