Conrad Bernhardt Burial Translation Request
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L92X-ZC1T?i=569
Would someone be able to translate the burial record for Conrad Bernhardt, please? It is entry #5 under 1684 in the middle of the left page. The town is Alsenz. I believe he died 1 November and was buried 3 November 1684. I am not sure if there is any other useful information in this record. Thank you so much for your help!

His age at death is approximately 75 years.
I don't understand the "fractional" dates in this record. Any thoughts?

I thought it might be Julian/Gregorian calendar dates, but the difference does not seem to be correct.

@Becky Bradshaw: I agree with you that the death date is 1 November 1684 and the burial date is 3 November 1684. These dates are from the Gregorian calendar.
@Ulrich Neitzel: Good thinking about the calendar and it works if you convert from Gregorian to Julian:
1 November 1684 (Gregorian) = 22 October 1684 (Julian).
3 November 1684 (Gregorian) = 24 October 1684 (Julian).
