The KJV translates Strong's G1122 in the following manner: scribe (66x), townclerk (1x).

  1. a clerk, scribe, esp.a public servant, secretary, recorder, whose office and influence differed in different states

  2. in the Bible, a man learned in the Mosaic law and in the sacred writings, an interpreter, teacher. Scribes examined the more difficult and subtle questions of the law; added to the Mosaic law decisions of various kinds thought to elucidate its meaning and scope, and did this to the detriment of religion. Since the advice of men skilled in the law was needed in the examination in the causes and the solution of the difficult questions, they were enrolled in the Sanhedrin; and are mentioned in connection with the priests and elders of the people. See a Bible Dictionary for more information on the scribes.

  3. a religious teacher: so instructed that from his learning and ability to teach advantage may redound to the kingdom of heaven

STRONGS G1122:
γραμματεύς, -έως, (accusative plural -εῖς, Winers Grammar, § 9, 2; [Buttmann, 14 (13)]), ὁ, (γράμμα), Sept. for סֹפֵר and שֹׁטֵר;
1. in secular authors and here and there in the O. T. [e. g. 2 Samuel 8:17; 2 Samuel 20:25; 2 Kings 19:2; 2 Kings 25:19; Psalm 44:2 (Ps. 45:2)], a clerk, scribe, especially a public scribe, secretary, recorder, whose office and influence differed in different states: Acts 19:35 (Sir. 10:5); [cf. Lightfoot in The Contemporary Review for 1878, p. 294; Wood, Discoveries at Ephesus, Appendix, Inscriptions from the Great Theatre, p. 49 n.],
2. in the Bible, a man learned in the Mosaic law and in the sacred writings, an interpreter, teacher: Matthew 23:34; 1 Corinthians 1:20 (called also νομικός in Luke 10:25, and νομοδιδάσκαλος in Luke 5:17; [Meyer (on Matthew 22:35), while denying any essential difference between γραμματεύς and νομικός (cf. Luke 11:52, 53 — yet see critical texts), regards the latter name as the more specific (a jurisconsult) and Classic, γρ. as the more general (a learned man) and Hebraistic; it is also the more common in the Apocrypha, where νομ. occurs only 4 Macc. 5:3. As teachers they were called νομοδιδάσκαλοι. Cf. B. D. under the word Lawyer, also under the word Scribes I. 1 note]); Jeremiah 8:8 (cf. Jeremiah 2:8); Nehemiah 8:1; Nehemiah 12:26, 36; 2 Esdr. 7:6, 11, and especially Sir. 38:24, 31ff; Sir. 39:1-11. The γραμματεῖς explained the meaning of the sacred oracles, Matthew 2:4 [γρ. τοῦ λαοῦ, Joshua 1:10; 1 Macc. 5:42; cf. Sir. 44:4]; Matthew 17:10; Mark 9:11; Mark 12:35; examined into the more difficult and subtile questions of the law, Matthew 9:3; Mark 2:6; Mark 12:28; added to the Mosaic law decisions of various kinds thought to elucidate its meaning and scope, and did this to the detriment of religion, Matthew 5:20; Matthew 15:1ff; 23:2ff; Mark 7:1ff; cf. Luke 11:46. Since the advice of men skilled in the law was needed in the examination of causes and the solution of difficult questions, they were enrolled in the Sanhedrin; and accordingly in the N. T. they are often mentioned in connection with the priests and elders of the people: Matthew 21:15; Matthew 26:3 R G; Mark 11:18, 27; Mark 14:1; Mark 15:1; Luke 19:47; Luke 20:1; Luke 22:2. Cf. Schürer, Neutest. Zeitgesch. § 25 ii.; Klöpper in Schenkel v. 247ff; [and thorough articles in BB. DD. under the word Scribes; cf. W. Robertson Smith, The O. T. in the Jewish Ch., Lect. iii.]:
3. universally, a religious teacher: γραμματεὺς μαθητευθεὶς εἰς τὴν βασιλ. τῶν οὐρ. a teacher so instructed that from his learning and ability to teach advantage may redound to the kingdom of heaven, Matthew 13:52 [but G T Tr WH read μαθ. τῇ βασιλείᾳ (L ἐν τ. β.); and many interpret made a disciple unto the kingdom of heaven (which is personified); see μαθητεύω, at the end].
