of Lini. But Lint tvas the son of Un. But Un was son of Fah. But Fah the 

 son of Duri. But he (the son) of Barlaf. But he the son of Drun : but he 

 (the son) of Lanas : but he (the soil) of Fidrasiv. Frumunt the son of Fisiulfi 

 made these Runic \letters.'\ We have placed this stone to the north of Bala stone. 

 Arva was the mother of Fisiulfi. Siulfir (or Fisiulfir) was the Governor of this 

 Province. His place of abode was in Rimbium. 



That this monument was erected since Christianity began to flourish in 

 Sweden, sufficiently appears by the figure of the cross. It is probable that 

 Fisiulfi, as the governor of the Province, was descended of a very noble 

 family; seeing his genealogy is traced 10 generations backward. Now if we 

 suppose Frumunt to have been 30 years of age when he erected this monu- 

 ment for his father, and, with Sir Isaac Newton, allow 30 years for each 

 generation ; we shall find 330 years from the death of Fisiulfi to the birth of 

 Fidrasiv, who is the stock of these generations. 



A figlire of this stone is in M. de la Motraye's Travels; but with consider- 

 able errors in the windings of the snakes, and in the letters, as well as in the 

 explanation of them.
