Who was Tertius?

We don't know anything about him, except that he was the Apostle Paul's scribe for this letter to the Roman believers. Paul often had others to write for him, as we suppose, he had some problems with his eyes. See Galatians 6:11, where he himself writes to them in large, bold letters (rather than a lengthy letter).

Thank you

Paul had no problem with his eyes. That lie came from lost and confused theologians. He wrote a large letter by his own hand because he loved them. Usually, he would dictate a letter to a scribe wrote it down. He also testified of their love for him by saying that they would also pluck out their eyes and give them to him. You can read about his thorn in the flesh in 2 cor 11:23-30

"Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities."

So please, I beseech you to come away from these reprobate theologians who wallow in the mire of their own filth and folly. You will never know God through theology.
