Translation (English)

I cut runes of help; I cut runes of protection; once against the elves, twice against the trolls, thrice against the ogres ... against the harmful 'skag'-valkyrie, so that she never shall, though she ever would-evil woman!-(injure) your life ... I send to you, I look at you (= cast on you with the evil eye): wolfish evil and hatefulness. May unbearable distress and 'ioluns' misery take effect on you. Never shall you sit, never shall you sleep, ... (that you) love me as yourself. [Latinate magical words] and [magical words] ...
