Number of relics
I don't know how the DYK got out of the gate with that form, but the reference in question says that it held over 200 relic authenticity certificates in the archives. The other reference says 391 relics by 1891, and its "largest ever" is a self-peacock-claim that we should probably not take seriously without third-party evidence.

 * Also, it's rather shocking for the source to claim the relics were "purchased from Rome" because that is the sin of simony if taken at face value. Elizium23 (talk) 23:26, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If you take a look at the DYK discussion, you will see that there was concern over the reliability of the 370 source as a standalone reference. Hence, the more conservative but solidly verifiable number of 200 was settled on.  Ergo Sum  23:37, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
