Abstract
There are constraints on close dating, even close comparative dating, of inscribed material of the seventh century. A few comments will be made on the topic. A review of the full range of surviving material displays an untidy range of usages of writing. It may be fruitless to attempt to estimate what percentage is preserved for us, whenever and wherever, but the material that we do have can be examined to determine how the skill was deployed in the seventh century, with respect to such matters as alphabetic uniformity, orthography and communication on personal, social and divine levels.
