Old Norse

Reistu steina ok staf unnu(?) ok inn mikla at jarteiknum. Ok Gyríði gazt at veri. Því mun í gráti getit láta. Gunnarr hjó stein.

English

(They) raised the stones and worked(?) the staff also, the mighty one, as marks of honour. Gyríðr also cherished her husband: he will therefore be commemorated in weeping. Gunnarr cut the stone.
