As a numeral, E stands for 250, according to the verse,

E, quoque ducentos et quinquaginta tenebit.

In music it denotes the tone e-la-mi. In the calendar it is the fifth of the dominical letters. And in sea charts it distinguishes all the easterly points: thus, E alone denotes East; and E. by S. and E. by N. East by South, and East by North.
