Latin term

ingredientibus

Non-PRO Latin to English Art/Literary Religion Ancient Egyptian
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.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Liliana Galiano, Sergey Kudryashov

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

with those entering out of those who do/conduct/perform the things that must be done by them

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.
