1. Tertius—Paul’s Faithful Secretary

2. ‘I, Tertius, Greet You’

3. TERTIUS faced a challenge.

4. We know little about Tertius.

5. This work of Tertius surely is precious.

6. Bible scholar Giuseppe Barbaglio suggests that Tertius was a slave or a freedman.

7. Secundum per Approbationem rectae rationis,6 tertius vero per claritatem mundae contemplationis

8. I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

9. 14 'How long have you been a eunuch?' Tertius asked him.

10. Rom. 22 I, Tertius, who write this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

11. Concordat Ill.mu tertius Consultors Animadverten, ulteriu quos sd iam in text satiu cautus m es iut Superioriss

12. When this letter was finished, Tertius and Paul had written thousands of words, using several sheets of papyrus.

13. 4, 567-8: "Secundum hoc apparet, quod triplex est modus cognoscendi, quorum primus est per credulilatem piae assensionis, secundus per Approbationem rectae rationis, tertius vero per claritatem mundae contemplationis.

14. (Romans 16:23) Although we know for a certainty that Paul used Tertius as his secretary to write this letter, we do not know exactly how he used him.
