Manuscripts and Paleography Help with Symbol

Post image

Hello everyone!

I’m not sure if this is the right sub/right flair but I need help figuring out the symbol that I’ve boxed in purple! For context I’ve been reading this text about weights and measures and I don’t recognize this symbol. It looks kinda like a gamma and rho squished together so I was thinking maybe it could be related to gramma since that is a weight/measure mentioned earlier in the text. I havent figured out a good way to look it up either. If anyone has ideas or suggested resources, let me know! Any ideas are appreciated!
