Hi, I bought one of those white henro shirts in Shitennoji temple and they wrote some words on the back of it reading like this:
μ³εtΥΖΰ
What is the meaning/translate of this?

this is a sutra of the Singon BUddhism reading is μ[na]³[nu]ε[dai]t[si]Υ[hen]Ζ[jou]ΰ[kon][gou]
εt is meaning honorific title of the great priest ΥΖΰ is the name of the priest of the Singon Buddhism called Kuukai(he is famous person in japanese history) this names meaning is Owner of the wisdom without breaking of Buddha making people happy and mercy to light all up like sun and its an exclamation that μ³ express respect and the etymology is Sanskrit!

Thank you both for your replies,
The Shingon sect isn't related to Shitennoji as far as I know, how come I would get such a mantra on the henro shirt? Just curious.
