Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Paul Weideman: This is what I use. "Ratifying the contents" is rather literal and awkward. The notary is reading the contents which are accepted/acknowledged by those present (as demonstrated by their signature).

  -> Gracias, Paul, "acknowleged" has always sounded natural to me.

As Maria points out, I wanted to write \"content\", not \"context\". Sorry.
