Local Link to the list with error numbers/messages:

xcdoc://osx/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/reference/ASLR_error_codes.html

You can also use the command line utility macerror.

Here what the "man"ual page has to say (man macerror):

The macerror script translates Mac error numbers into their symbolic name and description.

How to use: open Terminal.app and type - for example - macerror -43 or any other error number.

Result: Mac OS error -43 (fnfErr): File not found.

The authoritative list is hiding in one of the many .h files within the MacOS SDK, but Apple documentation also has a very handy & useful page as well. I've attached the link below:
