Syngraph \Syn"graph\, n. [L. syngrapha, Gr. ?; sy`n with + ? to
   write.] (Law)
   A writing signed by both or all the parties to a contract or
   bond.
   [1913 Webster]

SYNGRAPH. A deed, bond, or other instrument of writing, under the band and 
seal of all the parties. It was so called because the parties wrote 
together. 
     2. Formerly such writings were attested by the subscription and crosses 
of the witnesses; afterwards, to prevent frauds and concealments, they made 
deeds of mutual covenant in a script and rescript, or in a part and 
counterpart, and in the middle between the two copies they wrote the word 
syngraphus in large letters, which being cut through the parchment, and one 
being delivered to each party, on being afterwards put together, proved 
their authenticity. 
     3. Deeds thus made were denominates syngraphs by the canonists, and by 
the common lawyers chirographs. (q.v.) 2 Blackstone's Commentaries, 296.
