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".

What does Eris quod sum mean?

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.
