I dint have the options, but scribes were some of the only people who knew how to read and write in ancient times.

Things scribes did: writing letters for fellow villagers who couldn't write, recording the amount of crops harvested, calculating the amount of food needed to feed the workers, keeping accounts and ordering supplies for temples and the army.

Things scribes did not do: Write laws, and compose emails ;)
