Original Text :	Cuonradus quippe dux fortiter pugnans, animi fervore solisque ardore, qui eo die nimius erat, accensus aestuat, vinclisque [loricae] solutis dum auram captat, vulnere sagittae adverso gutturis defixae cadit. Cuius corpus iuxta regis imperium honorifice collectum transportatur Wormatiam ibique sepelitur, vir omni virtute animi et corporis magnus atque famosus, cum fietu et planctu omnium Francorum.
