No. IX
Thorny Saerth... Haelghis Raeisto.
The javelin pierceth... Haelghis carved.
Haelghis was probably an Englishman or Frislander. The inscription is much worn, and evidently very old. The last letter is the old northern.—Professor Stephens.
Thorny is a female name. Saerth is unintelligible; something is wanting here; the last letter R. is clearly the beginning of the word Runar.—Professor Munch.
Thorny Saerth... Haelhi Raeist.
Thorny Særd... Helge carved.
The word Saerth is of doubtful meaning.—Professor Rafn.
