Old Norse

§A Hróðsteinn ok Eilífr, Áki ok Hákon reistu þeir sveinar eptir sinn fôður kuml kennilikt

§B eptir Kala/Kalla dauðan. Því mun góðs manns um getit verða, meðan steinn lifir ok stafir rúna.

English

§A Hróðsteinn and Eilífr (and) Áki and Hákon, these lads raised the remarkable monument in memory of their father,

§B in memory of Kali/Kalli the deceased. So the good man will be commemorated while the stone and the rune-staves live.
