The answer is: E

Explanation

The most accurate statement about a 'testatum of a deed' is :

E: This is in witness of the matters contained in the deed and is usually at the end of the deed.

The testatum clause in a deed typically serves as the part of the document that witnesses the matters contained in the deed and often appears at the end of the deed. It is not the clause containing the receipt of consideration (as mentioned in option B) or the description of the property (as mentioned in option D). It is primarily a witnessing clause.
