Discussion
First of all, thank you all for your answers, but proz has changed the language pair. I know the word is in Latin, but I am translating a contract from English into Portuguese. So, somebody has used this word in English, but I don't know if it is used in Portuguese. There are several websites (such as answers.com) that explain what "testimonium" means. It actually starts with the expression "In witness whereof" and it ends with the signatures. So, the question is: "is there a specific name for such part of the contract in Portuguese?" Thank you.
