 # Test format: Verify cell KZG proof batch
 
-Use the cell KZG `proofs` to verify that the KZG `row_commitments` for the given `cells` are correct.
+Use the cell KZG `proofs` to verify that the KZG `commitments` for the given `cells` are correct.
 
 ## Test case format
 
 The test data is declared in a `data.yaml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 input:
-  row_commitments: List[Bytes48] -- the KZG commitments
-  row_indices: List[RowIndex] -- the commitment index for each cell
+  commitments: List[Bytes48] -- the KZG commitments for each cell
   column_indices: List[ColumnIndex] -- the column index for each cell
   cells: List[Cell] -- the cells
   proofs: List[Bytes48] -- the KZG proof for each cell
 output: bool -- true (all proofs are correct) or false (some proofs incorrect)
 ```
 
 - `Bytes48` is a 48-byte hexadecimal string, prefixed with `0x`.
-- `RowIndex` is an unsigned 64-bit integer.
 - `ColumnIndex` is an unsigned 64-bit integer.
 - `Cell` is a 2048-byte hexadecimal string, prefixed with `0x`.
 
 All byte(s) fields are encoded as strings, hexadecimal encoding, prefixed with `0x`.
 
 ## Condition
 
-The `verify_cell_kzg_proof_batch` handler should verify that `row_commitments` are correct KZG commitments to `cells` by using the cell KZG proofs `proofs`, and the result should match the expected `output`. If any of the commitments or proofs are invalid (e.g. not on the curve or not in the G1 subgroup of the BLS curve), any cell is invalid (e.g. incorrect length or one of the 32-byte blocks does not represent a BLS field element), or any `cell_index` is invalid (e.g. greater than the number of cells for an extended blob), it should error, i.e. the output should be `null`.
