testimonium

The concluding part of a document, sometimes commencing with 'In witness hereof', which states the manner of its execution. Testimoniums are not essential to ordinary written contracts, for so long as the agreement is signed. Formal requirements are required for a properly executed deeds, which require them to be "signed, sealed and delivered"; however modern law has relaxed the requirements.
