eratis is a helping verb, not a complete phrase in and of itself. It is the imperfect, 2nd person plural form of sum, esse, fui (to be), and means "were" when being used with a 2nd person plural verb, such as in the sentence 'You all were stupid" -- "vos eratis stulti". The conjugation pattern is as follows: Singular: eram -- 1st person eras -- 2nd person erat -- 3rd person Plural: eramus -- 1st person eratis -- 2nd person erant -- 3rd person
