This article, as the name implies, is a continuation of [9]. In that article the second author investigates finite translation planes containing both affine dations and affine homologies. (See the beginning of Section 2 for definitions.) Such translation planes are called Ei7-planes. In [9] the author restricted himself to translation planes of characteristic p ≧ 5. The main reasons for this were that Ostrom's and Hering's theorem [13;4] on affine dations excluded the case p = 3 and the conclusions were easier to interpret geometrically when p ≧ 5 (as opposed to the case p = 2). Since then Ostrom [17] has settled the case p = 3.
