A more thorough explanation:

Term: ex visu scriptionis
Definition: This phrase means that something can be proven by seeing a person write it.

This method of proving handwriting is called ex visu scriptionis. Term: ex vi termini

For example, if someone says "I am going to the airport," it is clear from the words used that they are going to a place where airplanes take off and land.
