Ezekiel 9:2

[Augustine3]

“And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar.” – Ezekiel 9:2

Could the man clothed in linen besides representing an angel also represent to be a priest or a scribe?

D-R Bible, Haydock Commentary:

Ver. 2. Upper, leading to the court of the priests. These were six angels, representing the army coming from Babylon. The seventh was an angel of peace. (Calmet) — God never abandoned his whole Church. (Worthington)
