According to the New Testament book of Romans, Tertius of Iconium (Greek: Τέρτιος Ίκονιού) acted as an amanuensis for Paul the Apostle, writing down his Epistle to the Romans.[1]
Christian tradition
He is numbered among the Seventy Disciples in a list pseudonymously attributed to Hippolytus of Rome,[2] which is found in the margin of several ancient manuscripts.[3]
According to tradition, Tertius was Bishop in Iconium[4][5] after the Apostle Sosipater[6] and died a martyr.[citation needed] The Catholic Church marks St. Tertius days on October 30 and November 10.
