De fratre Conrado magistro Prussie.
Brother Conrad's Gentle Rule and Holy End
Brother Conrad Saccus governed Prussia with affable grace for sixteen years, beloved by God and people, until worn by labors and infirmities he resigned his office, retired to the castle of Goluba, and was laid to rest in the cathedral church of Coimensec.
Brother Conrad Saccus was master of Prussia for sixteen years. He was a very affable man, gracious toward everyone, so that it could truly be said of him that he was beloved by God and by people. At last, worn down by labors and weakened by infirmities, he resigned his office. He lived in the castle of Goluba, which he himself had acquired, and he died and was buried in the cathedral church of Coimensec.

— Frater Conradus Saccus magister Prussie xvi prefuit vi annis Hic multum fuit homo affabilis et in omnium octdis graciosus, ut vere posset de ipso dici, quod dilectus fuit deo et hominibus. Qui tandem fatigatus laboribus et debilitatus infirmitatibus officium suum resignavit, habitansque in Castro Goluba, quod ipse comparavit, mortuus est, et sepultus fuit in ecclesia cathedrali Coimensec.
