In 24 hours all the poor peasants of the district, all staunch Socialists, have become land holders, turning naturally Into the most grasping capitalists ever seen.

In our particular case the translation of the word in question is not difficult as any average school boy can tell you that "nobis" means "to us," but that "nobis" into a papal "bulla" and see what may come out of It.
