Ink, Inkhorn.


We know from the papyrus rolls discovered in Egypt that writing with pen, or reed, and ink was practised in early days. Jeremiah caused Baruch to write in a book with ink the denunciations against Israel and Judah. Jer. 36: 18. The horn that contained the ink was carried in the girdle, as it is in some parts of the East to this day. Ezek. 9: 2, 3, 11.
