viz.
To be specific
Viz. is an abbreviation meaning "namely" or "that is to say," used to introduce a specific example or clarification of something just mentioned: The document requires two forms of ID, viz. a passport and a driver's license.
It comes from Latin *videlicet* and functions like "i.e." but typically precedes a complete list rather than a restatement.
The period is standard; pronunciation follows "namely" rather than spelling out the letters.
