I think you meant "authorities" not "authoritis", am I right?

Because even the dictionary didn't have "authoritis" for a word.

Definition for "authorities":the powers to determine, adjudicate, or otherwise settle issues or disputes; jurisdiction; the right to control, command, or determine.

(heh heh, this is a dictionary definition. I hope it will be a great help!)

There are lots and LOTS of other definitions for "authorities" but this definition is most commonly used.
