Eris quod sum is Latin for "You will be what I am". This is part of a longer quotation often attributed to the Roman poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65 BC - 8 BC), but found nowhere among his surviving works: Eram quod es, Eris quod sum ("I was what you are; you will be what I am").
A similar phrase, Sum quod Eris; quod es, ipse fui ("I am what you will be; what you are, I myself have been") is quoted by the 11th-century writer Petrus Alfonsus in his Ecclesiastical Discipline, who says it is from a verse on a marble plaque seen by "a certain philosopher" while walking through an ancient cemetery.

The Latin word quod has the basic meaning "that" and can be used in a number of different ways.In the phrase eris quod sum (see link below), it has the meaning "that which" or "what" so that the whole phrase means "You will be what I am".Quod can also be a conjunction meaning "in that" or "because", so that the phrase quod sum, if taken by itself, can mean "because I am".

The classical Latin pronunciation is Eh'-ris (short i) kwod (short o as in "hot") sum (short u-sound as in "foot")
The phrase “As You Are, I Once Was. As I Am, You Will Become” is often found on old tombstones and is believed to be of ancient Roman origin. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and mortality.
Sum is pronounced as "soom". Quod is pronounced as "kwod", with a short 'o' (note to Americans: not the common American short 'o' that verges on 'ah'; more like the 'au' in "taught").
"Quad" doesn't exist in Latin.If the quotation is sum quod sum, that's "I am what I am."
