Papyrus, von dem unser Wort » Papier « abgeleitet ist, war ein vor allem in der Antike gebräuchlicher Beschreibstoff.
Das Mark der Papyrusstaude, einer Schilfart im Mittelmeerraum, wird in längliche Streifen geschnitten.
Diese werden auf einer festen Unterlage nebeneinander gelegt, so daß sie sich etwas überlappen, und darüber weitere Streifen quer angeordnet.

The pith of the papyrus plant, a reed which grows in the Mediterranean, was cut into long strips.
These were placed in rows on a firm base, with the edges slightly overlapping, and covered with a second layer of strips laid at right angles to the first layer.
