"Context" is a masculine noun, "contextus." The translation of the phrase above would be "Scientia in contexto est." (Scientia is pronounced "ski-EN-tia"). |

Contextus is fourth declension masculine, declined as follows:
contextus - nom. sing.
contextus - gen. sing.
contextui - dat. sing.
contextum - acc. sing.
contextu - abl. sing.
The preposition "in" requires the ablative. ("in contextu operis
dicemus," Tacitus.) Thus, the correct translation is "scientia in
contextu est."
