Readings of the Inscriptions by Professors — Stephens, Munch, Rafn
Plate VII .
No. I
Thatir Vikinkr... a, kom, Vtir, Hir, til.
Thatir the Viking, came here to weary—(perhaps from the sea, or from battle.)
The inscription is incomplete, several letters being obliterated. The a in the Bind-rune Ak is probably the termination of the word Fra, from.—Professor Stephens.
Thatir Vikinkr... KOMUTIRHIRTIL.
That which the Wicing... came outerly here to.
This is only a fragment, some of the letters being obliterated. It may mean that a pirate or Wicing had been at the tumulus and found something, or that some person had found what the Wicing had left. It may however be merely the name of some person, as Vikingr is sometimes used as a Christian name.—Professor Munch.
That Ir Vikingr... A Kom Ut Irhirtil.
This is a Viking... come out is hereto.
The inscription is incomplete. Vikingr may be the name of a man.—Professor Rafn.
