Oct 29, 2018 at 16:17 comment added Cyn The reason I said it is because of where your citation is. Ibid is a citation. If you're putting the citation directly into the text (between parenthesis or square brackets) then an ibid would go there too. But if you're just using numbers in the text, you wouldn't take out one of the numbers to put ibid. With numbers you can use different numbers and then give an ibid (perhaps with a different page number ref). Or you can use the same number to refer to the same citation like wikipedia does. Here's a link to the basic rules. writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/DocChicago_Notes_Shortened.html
Oct 29, 2018 at 10:54 comment added Amadeus @Cyn I haven't used it myself (I'd combine the statements), but I've seen "ibid" in text before. But obviously that could be an error that escaped scrutiny. If you can point me at a rule, I'll take it out of my answer.
