Old Norse
Geirhvatr af Norðrbý/Norrbys hvílisk hér ok hans húsfreyja Hróðþjóð. Gerið vel ok biðið fyrir þeim. Þau váru þat sem ér eruð nú ok ér verðið þat sem þau eru nú.
English
Geirhvatr of Norðrbýr/Norrbys rests here and his housewife Hróðþjóð. Be so kind and pray for them. They were that which you are now and you will become that which they are now.
