Reference information:
Personally, I would go with the corresponding EN abbreviation for compare, which is cf.
'cf.
abbreviation
compare with (used to refer a reader to another written work or another part of the same written work).'
(ODO)
Also, the acronym for the letter has no punctuation (NMI)
(www.fabc.org/offices/osc/docs/.../bm2001.pdf ).
If written in full, the NMI should be in italics, as per Vatican style for letters.

'Ineunte' still appears in Italian dictionaries,
'ineunte agg. [dal lat. iniens ineuntis, part. pres. di inire «incominciare»]. – Che è al principio, entrante; è un latinismo usato soprattutto nelle descrizioni paleografiche e codicologiche: scrittura del sec. XII ineunte (spesso in forma abbreviata, in.), cioè degli inizî del sec. XII. Si contrappone a exeunte.'
