scribed
Marked with lines
Scribed is the past tense of scribe, meaning to mark or score a line on a surface, especially in carpentry or metalwork where precision matters: He scribed the outline onto the wood before cutting.
In broader use, scribed can mean written or recorded, though this sounds archaic or affected: The monk scribed the manuscript by candlelight.
