How do you write in Latin "Crotus of the Sagittarii"?

How do you write in Latin "Crotus of the Sagittarii"?

"Crotus is a proper name.

"Sagittarii" is intended to be the plural of Sagittarius. If I got it wrong, feel free to correct me, but that's not the point anyway.

As I understand it, the Sagittarii (?) were archers, so I want to say Crotus of the archers that were known as Sagittarii.

What is the Latin genitive plural of Sagittarius?

    Crotus Sagittariorum. And if you want it for an inscription or tattoo don't forget that Latin was written entirely in capitals and that there was no letter "U" - Romans used the letter shaped like "V" for what we see as "U".

    Golda is wrong about the genitive plural.
