Latin term or phrase: ingredientibus
Dear members,

I'm stuck on a Latin translation in a French work. -
I know nothing of Latin or Ptolemaic era hieroglyphs and hope someone can help. It's located on this page:

http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k72814s/f88.image.r=Mar...


and is the second sentence of the first full paragraph on the page. It reads:

Les textes du sanctuaire d'Edfou, parlant des prêtres choisis parmi les
autres, les désigne ainsi: GLYPHS cum ingredientibus eorum (2) qui
agunt res agendas illis.

The texts from the Edfu sanctuary describe the priests chosen from amongst
all the others as follows: GLYPHS cum ingredientibus eorum (2) qui agunt
res agendas illis.

THE FOOTNOTE READS:
(2) GLYPH se rapporte ici aux dieux et aux déesses précédemment cités.
(2) GLYPH refers here to the gods and goddesses mentioned previously.

It seems to mean something like: with those who enter when they do the
things needed to be done for them.

I'd appreciate it very much if someone could confirm this or correct the my translation.

English translation:with those entering out of those who do/conduct/perform the things that must be done by them
Explanation:
More precisely "the things that must be done/conducted/performed by them". Agunt and agendas normally refer to physical (as opposed to internal or mental) activities.

Illis should express the agent for the "things that must be done". I think we have two sets of persons described here: 1) the ones entering; and 2) a larger group of those who do the things. All a little mysterious.
