Commentators unanimously identify Tertius as Paul's amanuensis, or scribe, who physically wrote the letter of Romans as Paul dictated it. This was a common practice for Paul, who would then add a final greeting in his own handwriting to authenticate the letter and prevent forgeries, as mentioned in other epistles like 2 Thessalonians 3:17.
