No. XI Raeist Runar Thesar Oframr Sighurthersonr — Ofram Sigurthson Carved These Runes

Several of the letters at the beginning are obliterated. The crosses may be intended for ornament.—Professor Stephens.

Reist Runar Thessar Uframr Sigurtharsonr.

Ofram, the son of Siward, engraved these Runes.—Professor Munch.

Raeist Runar Thaesir Oframr Sihurtharsonr.

Ofram Sigurdson carved these Runes.

The word Oframr, or Uframr, is hardly to be found anywhere else. It signifies “the modest,” “the reserved.” The seven crosses denote that this man was one of the Crusaders.—Professor Rafn.
