Meroitic Cursive Number Three Hundred

It stands for a total of 300. Kushite numerals appear only in Meroitic Cursive, a general-use script based on Egyptian Demotic, another Egyptian script. Its hieroglyphic counterpart drew on Egyptian hieroglyphs and appeared on royal monuments and temples.

In Kush, a Nile kingdom south of Egypt, Meroitic writing arose as Egyptian writing receded. Cursive is attested by the 3rd century BCE; the earliest dated inscriptions are around 180 BCE. Nubian gradually replaced Meroitic after the fourth century CE; by the sixth century, the Coptic script had adopted three Meroitic Cursive signs to write Nubian.
