Master Jewelers Whilst some of todays gemstone workers (lapidaries) rub stones back and forth against a rough surface to create a shape, most abrade gemstone material against a wheel. (Whytock,44)
The wheel has a number of advantages, object can be produced in hours, gives a superior finish and finer polish
Fine dust created as a by –product of Wheel-working can be used for polishing objects. (Whytock,44)

Numbers are represented in Greek classical inscriptions I two different ways such as acrophonic and Greek alphabetic system.
Acrophonic is named because the signs to represent five and multiples of 10 are taken from the first letters of the appropriate Greek numeral. (chrisomalis,485)
Egyptian numerical system used by the
Greeks.

Egyptian numerical system used by the
Greeks.• Three distinct numeral notations
systems were used in ancient Egypt: the hieroglyphic, the hieratic and demotic. (chrisomalis,489)
• The middle kingdom groups of sign became condensed into single ciphers, so that the hieroglyphic for 300 was in old kingdom hieratic but in middle kingdom and later hieratic.(chrisomalis,489)
