Tertius (Scribe of the Letter to the Romans)
Paul's Secretary
Tertius was the scribe who physically wrote down the Letter to the Romans according to Paul's dictation. He is unique in the New Testament because he included his own personal greeting in the letter, giving us a rare glimpse of the coworkers behind the apostle's work.
