Old Norse
Þorgerðr ok Sveinn þau létu reisa stein þenna eptir Ormgeir ok Ormulf ok Freygeir. Hann endaðist í Silu nór en þeir aðrir út í Grikkjum. Guð hjalpi þeira ônd ok sálu.
English
Þorgerðr and Sveinn, they had this stone raised in memory of Ormgeirr and Ormulfr and Freygeirr. He met his end in the sound of Sila (Selaön), and the others abroad in Greece. May God help their spirits and souls.
