Definitions:

(1) (scribe)
in the days before printing presses and related technology: someone employed to write copies of documents or write what someone said
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)

Even more rarely, it can reference a sharp-pointed tool for marking wood or metal to be cut; or a line made on metal or wood such as might be used to indicate where material should be cut.
