Final answer:
The student is asking about the case of “nobis” in Latin, which is either dative or ablative. The exact case depends on the function of the word within the sentence, which requires context to determine.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about the grammatical case of the word “nobis” in a Latin text. In line 9 of the provided excerpt, “nobis” is likely in the dative or ablative case, as these are the only cases in Latin that end in “-is” in the plural for 1st and 2nd declension, and “nobis” is a form used for both dative and ablative in 1st declension plural.
To determine the exact case, one needs to look at the function of “nobis” in the sentence. If it is used to indicate to/for whom something is done (dative), or if it is being used to express means or location (ablative).
