게 적히다

be written that way (on a sign or note)

적히다 is the passive of 적다 'write down', so no writer is named — it just reports what a sign, a note or a page says: 애매하게 적혀 있어요 'it's written vaguely', 포브스에 이렇게 적혀있더라고 'that's how Forbes put it'. In every line here the manner word is 이렇게 / 그렇게 'like this, like that' or 애매하게, and 이렇게 usually points at the wording being quoted right next to it. It nearly always comes with 있다 (적혀 있다, 'stands written').
