(They) raised the stones and worked(?) the staff also, the mighty one, as marks of honour. Gyríðr also cherished her husband: he will therefore be commemorated in weeping. Gunnarr cut the stone.

De reste stenar och staven gjorde också den höga till hederstecken. Även Gyrid älskade maken. Därför i tårar skall talas om honom. Gunnar högg stenen.
