OET interlinear ROM 16:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγὼ, Τέρτιος, ὁ γράψας τὴν ἐπιστολὴν

I Tertius the_‹one› /having/_written the letter

This clause means that Tertius wrote down the words that Paul told him to write in this letter. In ancient times it was common for people to use scribes to physically write dictated letters for them. See the discussion of this in the General Notes for this chapter. Alternate translation: “I, Tertius, am the person who wrote down what Paul told me to write in this epistle”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἀσπάζομαι ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ, Τέρτιος, ὁ γράψας τὴν ἐπιστολὴν, ἐν Κυρίῳ

/am/_greeting you_all I Tertius the_‹one› /having/_written the letter in /the/_Lord

I here refers to Tertius, who writes this verse. Unlike elsewhere in this letter, it does not refer to Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the third person in this verse. Alternate translation: “Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greets you in the Lord”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Τέρτιος

Tertius

The word Tertius is the name of a man.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν Κυρίῳ

in /the/_Lord

See how you translated the similar use of in the Lord in 16:2.
