I haven't found this formula in Hebrew, but if you have to translate it at all, I'm guessing it should be sth like this.

Both your suggestions are OK! I would go for either of them, even under affidavit :)

Thanks. If I were to guess, I would write תמו דברי המצהיר or עד כאן דברי התצהיר or עד כאן דברי המצהיר. |

Reference:
“Further affiant sayeth naught”
“The affiant says nothing further.”
But here’s the most important question of all: Is the phrase really needed at all? No. It’s an antiquarian superfluity. Think of translating it as “That’s all, folks!” Truly, one might simply take the sensible approach that when the affiant (uh-fye-uhnt) hath nothing further to say, the affiant merely stoppeth.

Agreed. But in legal translation, one doesn't always have the option of just leaving s/t out... |
