scribe's
Belonging to transcriber
Scribe's is the possessive form of scribe—a person who copies documents by hand or, more broadly, a writer.
The word appears in phrases like a scribe's tools or the scribe's handwriting.
In ancient and medieval contexts, scribes preserved texts before printing existed; the scribe's error might explain a textual variant.
