What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"I Tertius, who wrote this Epistle, salute you." This too is no small encomium, to be Paul's amanuensis. Still it is not to pass encomiums on himself that he says this, but that he might attach a warm love to him on their part, for this ministration.
Theophylact of Ohrid
A great thing it is to be a scribe of Paul. And Tertius writes this not in order to praise himself, but in order to attract to himself the greater love of the Romans, as one who served in the writing of the epistle to them.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Tertius, Paul's secretary, was allowed to greet the Romans personally with Paul's consent. Hence he adds: I, Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.
