Latin term or phrase: Dilectum nobis

followed by the person s name

one who is esteemed by us, whom we hold in high esteem

Explanation:

Notes to answerer

Asker: Many thanks, Rebecca, it appears that both verbs are interrelated. More context - we, authorised to issue such qualifications, would like to assure anyone who this doc may reach that Delictum nobis + name + a professoribus Commendatum et Approbatum during a State examination ad Sicentiae Baccalaureatum fuisse provectum. This is all crystal clear except Delictum nobis - the person who we hold in high esteem (?) It is shrouded in mystery why they re using neuter.

Asker: True - Dilectum depends on certiores facimus omnes (+ fuisse provectum).
