Old Norse

Andvéttr ok Kárr ok <kiti> ok Blesi ok Djarfr reistu stein þenna eptir Gunnleif, fôður sinn. Er var austr með Ingvari drepinn. Guð hjalpi ônd þeira. Alríkr(?) reist-ek rúnar. Er kunni vel knerri stýra.

English

Andvéttr and Kárr and <kiti> and Blesi and Djarfr raised this stone in memory of Gunnleifr, their father, who was killed in the east with Ingvarr. May God help their spirits. Alríkr(?), I carved the runes. He could steer a cargo-ship well.
