I often get curious about Latin words. And to me it doesn't look
like 'auctoritae' is the nom pl. of 'auctoritas', the first being
1st decl and the second 3rd decl. So I had to look it up with this
result;
=>auctoritatae
at SUFFIX
-ed, having, having a, provided with; -able
auctoritat.ae ADJ 1 1 GEN S F POS
auctoritat.ae ADJ 1 1 DAT S F POS
auctoritat.ae ADJ 1 1 NOM P F POS
auctorita, auctoritae N F Later uncommon
authority, power; one in charge;

=>auctoritates
auctoritat.es N 3 1 NOM P F
auctoritat.es N 3 1 ACC P F
auctoritas, auctoritatis N F
title (legal), ownership; right to authorize/sanction, power;
decree, order;
authority, influence; responsibility; prestige, reputation; opinion,
judgment;

auctorit.ae N 1 1 DAT S F

For what it's worth.
