Old norse transcription
Hróðvísl ok Hróðelfr þau létu reisa steina eptir so[nu sína] þrjá. Þenna eptir Hróðfús. Hann sviku blákumenn í útfaru. Guð hjalpi sál Hróðfúsar. Guð svíki þá, er hann sviku.
Translation
“Hróðvísl and Hróðelfr, they had the stones raised in memory of (their) three sons. This (one) in memory of Hróðfúss. Wallachians betrayed him on a voyage. May God help Hróðfúss' soul. May God betray those who betrayed him.”
