n 1914 the English Egyptologist, Sir William Flinders Petrie, (1853-1942), published a paper on the earliest known hieroglyphs. His purpose was to show what the construction and the general sense of the inscriptions on primitive stone cylinder seals were by means of comparison and statistical grouping. Linguistically he considered them scarcely intelligible, and used the Pyramid Texts (13C later) as a basis expecting differences in the grammar, uses of writing, and words. He made hand-drawn copies of 72 of the cylinder inscriptions which were divided into eight classes. Each class contains a number of seals. This 'Title' class of cylinder inscriptions apparently deals with with public business. They all mention types of plans ('senti') of the temple of Neit. An example is the inscription of No. 61 which might mean ???emple of the ka of Neit, over the surveys and plans.??,PETRIE
