✤ The Saints Apostles Tertius, Mark, Justus, and Artemas ✤

Of the seventy apostles. Tertius was taken by the Apostle Paul as a scribe, so he wrote the Epistle to the Romans for him (Romans 16:22). He was made bishop of the city of Iconium. Mark was Barnabas' nephew (Colossians 4:10) and was a bishop of Apollonia. As for Justus, he became bishop of Alphatropolis. Finally, Artemas was bishop of Lystra. These four rest in peace in the Lord after they glorified God through their conduct and preaching.
