It's either "e.g." or "eg", the comma is a separate thing providing a break between clauses. Strictly it should have the periods since it is an abbreviation but their use is more vauge in fixed point text since they look ugly, the thing that made me complain was that you dropped the comma as well as substituting in the expanded version.
