According to the New Testament book of Romans, Tertius of Iconium (Greek: Τέρτιος Ἰκονιού) acted as an amanuensis for Paul the Apostle, writing down his Epistle to the Romans.

Christian tradition

He is numbered among the Seventy Disciples in a list pseudonymously attributed to Hippolytus of Rome, which is found in the margin of several ancient manuscripts.

According to tradition, Tertius was Bishop in Iconium after Bishop Sosipater and died a martyr.^{[citation needed]} The Catholic Church marks St. Tertius days on October 30 and November 10.

Hymns

Troparion (Tone 3)

Holy Apostles, Erastus, Olympas, Herodian, Sosipater, Quartus and Tertius,

entreat the merciful God,

to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

Kontakion (Tone 2)

Illumined by divine light, O holy apostles,

you wisely destroyed the works of idolatry.

When you caught all the pagans you brought them to the Master

and taught them to glorify the Trinity.
