The Elymaic script was an abjad used between approximately 250 BC - 500 AD in the state of Elymais, an ancient state located in the region southeast of the Tigris River in present-day Iran. The Elymaic script was descended from Aramaic, and was either the parent or a sibling script for Mandaic. It is poorly attested on coins and rock inscriptions from the second and third centuries.
