Stolist

Stolist is a term used to describe something within the culture of ancient Egypt.

The stolist was a person participating within the society of ancient Egypt who participated in activities pertaining to, and held the rank, of priest, and is understood to be a person who is an adorner of divine images. At some time stolist belonged to a group or guild known as nekrostolisteis, as is attested to by the archaeological finds of the Siwa oasis, this particularly being an inscription dating to the 1st century C.E.[1]
