370. A will under an authentic document has no validity unless in the presence of a notary and two witnesses the testator or testatrix has dictated the contents of will and after they were written down and read by the notary, they have been respectively signed and sealed by himself or herself and the witnesses.
Where, however, any one cannot sign, the mention thereof in the document suffices.
