Universis et singulis praesentes litteras inspecturis fidem facimus ac testamur, quod Nos ad maiorem Omnipotentis Dei gloriam suorumque Sanctorum venerationem recognovimus sacras particulas ex carne B. Pii. X. P.P. quas ex authenticis locis extractas reverenter collocavimus in theca metallica rotundae formae cystallo munita, bene clausa et funiculo serico coloris rubri colligata, ac sigillo nostro signata, easque tradidimus cum facultate apud se retinendim, extra Urbem transmittendi et publicae fidelium venerationi exponendi. Monemus autem fideles in quorum manus hae sacrae reliquiae nunc vel in posterum venturae sunt, nullo modo licere eas vendere, neque cum iis rebus quae mercimonii speciem praeseferant, commutare.
In quorum fidem has litteras testimoniales a Nobis seu ab Exc.mo Vicesgerente subscriptas nostroque sigillo firmatas per infrascriptum Sacrarum Reliquiarum Custodem expediri mandavimus.

ROMANAE CURIAE EIUSQUE DISTRICTUS IUDEX ORDINARIUS ETC.
To all and any who inspect these present documents, we make known and attest that we, for the greater glory of Almighty God and the veneration of His Saints, have recognized the sacred particles from the flesh of Blessed Pius X, Supreme Pontiff, which, having been extracted from authentic places, we have reverently placed in a metal case of round shape, adorned with crystal, well sealed, tied with a red silk cord, and marked with our seal. We have delivered them with the faculty of retaining them and transmitting them outside the City. However, we admonish the faithful into whose hands these sacred relics shall come now or in the future that it is in no way permitted to sell them or exchange them for items that bear the appearance of commerce.
In witness whereof, we have ordered these testimonial letters, signed by Us or by the Most Excellent Vicegerent and sealed with our seal, to be issued by the undersigned Custodian of Sacred Relics.
At Rome, from our residence, on the 20th day of the month of June, in the year 1951.
