Well, dirt or not—that is, of course, the question.
I’ve marked the dirt with blue arrows.
An with red arrows I’ve marked the dot on the “i” and the stroke that, in my opinion, differs from the dirt.
To me, it looks as if there is indeed a round stroke visible between the “m” and the “c,” roughly the same strength as the stroke on the “i.”

@ Ed—yes, that’s right; “camisia” was the term used back then, and it’s still known today as the term from that period.
But it essentially means the same thing:
camisia ≈ chiton = close-fitting shirt/undergarment
“Camisia” is the standard Late Antique/Medieval Latin term for a shirt; “chiton” is the Greek or scholarly term for a specific type of tunic, as undergarment.
the source: Hieronymus (Jerome), Epistula 64,11, Ad Fabiolam / De veste sacerdotali.
11. Secunda ex lino tunica est poderes, id est talaiis, duplici sindone, quam et ipsam Iosephus byssinam uocat, appellaturque 'cotonat', id est chiton, quod Hebraeo sermone in lineam uertitur. haec aclhaeret corpori et ita arta est et strictis manicis, ut nulla omnino in ueste sit ruga et usque ad crura descendat. uolo pro legentis facilitate abuti sermone uulgato: solent militantes habere lineas, quas camisas uocant, sic aptas 10 membris et adstrictas corporibus, ut expediti sint uel ad cursum uel ad proelia, dirigendo iaculo, tenendo clipeo, ense librando et quocumque necessitas traxerit.
11. The second garment is a linen tunic, a poderes, that is, a garment reaching to the feet, made of double linen cloth; Josephus likewise calls it a garment of byssus. It is called cotonat, that is χιτών (chiton), which in Hebrew is rendered as a linen garment.
This garment clings to the body and is so close-fitting, with such tight sleeves, that there is not a single fold in it, and it reaches down to the legs.
For the reader’s convenience, I will use an expression from ordinary speech: soldiers are accustomed to wear linen garments which they call camisae. These fit the limbs and cling to the body so closely that the wearers remain unencumbered, whether running or fighting, throwing a spear, holding a shield, wielding a sword, or wherever necessity may lead them.
