'ibid' came from the Latin word 'ibidem'which meant 'in the same place'. If you cite several pieces of information from the same source you use the word to show that their source is the same. The word is used after the first citation.

Ibid (Latin, short for "ibidem", "the same place") is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the preceding endnote or footnote. It is similar in meaning to idem ("the same person"), abbreviated "Id.," which is commonly used in legal citation.

ibid - "in the same place".
It means the matter you are explaining about or referring is within the same piect of text.

It means the same source as the one just above it. In your case, it would mean that sources 3 & 4 are the same source as 2. Added: ole... changed his answer. His first response was "same" which was all that was there when I answered.
