Save gives (Note-book p. 7) a small pencil-drawing, with the words: 

 »Njurunda vid Nordby (Nolby) d. 7 Aug. 51. Liljegren No. 1072, Bautil 

 No. 1102». 



But in 1863 he kindly sent me a new and more careful pen-and- 

 ink drawing, which I here Photoxylograph. We see that in 1851 the 

 1st, 5th, (jth and 7th letter in the first word, and the 4th in the third, 

 were then doubtful; but we must probably read, with Bautil and Lilje- 

 gren, BARKSUAIN, SIHFASTR (or SIHUASTR, Bautil and Liljegren 

 have SIHUASTR; either is good, the sound being nearly the same). 

 Save distinctly remarkt, in his letter to me, that MARKAt^I was certam. 

 Thus we get: 



BARKSUAIN UK SIH(U)ASTH UK FRiI'I RAISTU STAIN Ê'INSA IFTIE 

 BURI, FAtUK SIN. IN FARtAlHN MARKAPl. 



BARKSUAIN EKE (und) SIH(V)AST EKE FRITHl RAISED STONE 

 THIS AFI ER BUR, FATHER SIN (their). IN (hut) EARTH AIHN MARKT 



(carr. d ilie ruiiex). 



We have here 2 valuable corrections of the reading in Bautil and 

 Liljegren. The stone has FAl^UR not FARtRI i), and MARKAÏ>I not 

 MARKTI. Whether the nom. of BURI was then and there BUR or BURA 

 or what, we do not know. 



The woodcut in Bautil had been previously used by E. J. Björner 

 in Prodromus Tractatuum (Stockholm 172G, 4to) p. 46.
