TERTIUS.—St. Paul’s amanuensis who wrote Romans and added a personal salutation (Rom_16:22). It was the Apostle’s custom to employ a scribe (no doubt dictating shorthand notes, a common practice), but to add a short autograph himself. The autographs probably are: Rom_16:25-27, 1Co_16:21-24 (expressly), 2Co_13:13 f., Gal_6:11-18 (expressly), Eph_6:23 f., Php_4:21-23, Col_4:18 (expressly), 1Th_5:25-28, 2Th_3:17 f., (expressly). In the Pastoral Epistles and Philemon, which are personal letters, the presence of autograph passages is more uncertain.

Paul's amanuensis in writing the epistle to the Romans (Rom_16:22) from Corinth. His greeting inserted in the middle of Paul's greetings to the Romans shows that he was well acquainted with the Roman Christians, "I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord"; his name too makes it likely he was a Roman.

Ter'tius. (third). Probably a Roman, was the amanuensis, [A person whose employment is to write what another dictates.], of Paul in writing the Epistle to the Romans. Rom_16:22. (A.D. 55).

tûr?shi-us (Τέρτιος, Tértios): The amanuensis of Paul who wrote at his dictation the Epistle to the Romans. In the midst of Paul's greetings to the Christians in Rome he interpolated his own, ?I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord? (Rom_16:22). ?It is as a Christian, not in virtue of any other relation he has to the Romans, that Tertius salutes them? (Denney). Some identify him with Silas, owing to the fact that shālı̄sh is the Hebrew for ?third (officer),? as tertius is the Latin Others think he was a Roman Christian residing in Corinth. This is, however, merely conjecture. Paul seems to have dictated his letters to an amanuensis, adding by his own hand merely the concluding sentences as ?the token in every epistle? (2Th_3:17; Col_4:18; 1Co_16:21). How far this may have influenced the style of his letters is discussed in Sanday-Headlam, Romans, Introduction, LX.

Ter?tius. We learn from Rom_16:22 ('I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord'), that the Apostle Paul dictated that epistle to Tertius. Some writers say that Tertius was bishop of Iconium.

(Τέρτιος, Graecized from the Lat. tertius, third; Vulg. Tertius) was the amanuensis of Paul in writing the Epistle to the Romans (16, 22). A.D. 55. He was at Corinth, therefore, and Cenchrese, the port of Corinth, at the time when the apostle wrote to the Church at Rome. It is noticeable that Tertius intercepts the message which Paul sends to the Roman Christians, and inserts a greeting of his own in the first person singular (ἀσπάζομαι ἐγὼ Τέρτιος). Both that circumstance and the frequency of the name among the Romans may indicate that Tertius was a Roman, and was known to those whom Paul salutes at the close of the letter. Secundus (Act_20:4) is another instance of the familiar usage of the Latin ordinals employed as proper names. The idle pedantry (indulged in by Burmann, Exercit. Theol. 2, 161 sq.) which would make him and Silas the same person because tertius and שְׁלַישַׁיmean the same in Latin and Hebrew, hardly deserves to be mentioned (see Wolf,. Curae Philologicae, 3, 295); and equally idle is Roloffs conjecture (De Trib. Nomin. Pauli [Jen. 1731]) and Storck's (Exercit. de Tertio, in the Fortges. niutzl. Samml. p. 23) that Tertius is but a pseudonym for Paul himself. In regard to the ancient practice of writing letters from dictation, see Becker's Gallus, p. 180. No credit is due to the writers who speak of him as bishop of conium (see Fabricius, Lux Evangelica, p. 117). — Smith. See also Briegleb, De Tertio (Jen. 1754); Eckhard, De Signo Pauli (Viteb. 1687); Hertzog, De Subscriptionibus Pauli (Lips. 1703). SEE PAUL.
