### Language ###
Latin

### Assessment ###
The text discusses different types of testaments, with focus on the number of witnesses required, so we could ask about witness requirements.

### Query ###
Quot testes necessarii sunt ad testamentum in scriptis?

Note: This query asks "How many witnesses are necessary for a written testament?" which is directly answerable from the text (septem testes/seven witnesses) but is formulated as a general legal question someone might ask without knowing about this specific text.
