I'll take a stab at it in Seduk

Ši aðuš aþug get ti bernteikknu anë atu
/Si aDuS aTug get ti ben`tejk:nu an3 atu/

I knew-3rd.PAST fact-MISC.ACC which-MISC.ACC you philosopher-PPL.PNOM
(appositive)-MISC.GEN by

Literally, "I didn't know of the fact by which you're a philosopher".
That "by" is an instrumental one, not a locative one.
