- 2020, Vanessa Davies, Dimitri Laboury, The Oxford Handbook of Egyptian Epigraphy and Palaeography, page 611:
- Regarding the ranges of these palaeographic areas, the terms mentioned might again be misleading to a nonadept, who, for example, has to know that the Delta is mostly uncharted territory in regard to Demotic palaeography (due to the lack of sources from this area).
- (linguistics) The demotic Egyptian language, spoken from c. 650 BCE to 400 BCE.
