sworn evidence in court, whether oral or written


Explanation:
As a legal term in Classical Latin, it means as above in a strict sense. More loosely, it means any kind of evidence or bearing witness.

evidence/proof


Explanation:
'Testimonium' may be translated into English in several ways, but the context here seems to call for 'evidence' or 'proof'. 'Witness' seems ruled out as repetitious and superfluous and 'testimony' as a mere Anglification of the Latin.

authentication clause


Explanation:
According to my legal dictionary (Brian Hughes-Enrique Alcaraz Varó, English-Spanish) testimonium is also called "authentication clause", it usually begins with "In witness whereof" and ends with the signature, date and names of the witnesses. In Spanish it is translated as "cláusula testimonial" or "otorgamiento" (but watch out, the latter not in the sense of Portuguese concessão or adjudicasão), in case this can inspire you some translation into Portuguese.
The Findlaw dictionary defines it, quoting the Webster:
: **the authenticating clause** of an instrument (as a deed) that typically begins ``In witness whereof'' and furnishes such information as when it was signed and before what witnesses
