Old Norse
Þorsteinn lét reisa stein þenna eptir sik sjalfan ok son sinn Hefni. Var til Englands ungr drengr farinn, varð þá heima at harmi dauðr. Guð hjalpi sálu þeira. Brúni ok Slóði þeir ristu stein þenna.
English
Þorsteinn had this stone raised in memory of himself and his son Hefnir. The young valiant man travelled to England; then died grievously at home. May God help their souls. Brúni and Slóði, they carved this stone.
