摘要：In the Swedish province of Västergötland, there stands a runestone at Härlingstorp farm, Edsvära parish, in the district of Skåning (Vg 61), where a mother commemorates her son who died while travelling abroad. The present site of the stone is not far from its assumed original setting; it was found by a ford leading over the nearby Härlingstorp brook. The monument is of granite and is just over one metre high. The upper right section is missing, but this has been supplied from earlier records. Despite the damage, the design of the monument seems clear: the inscription is fitted into two bands, the outer one forming a continuous frame around the face of the stone. The content of the inscription is thus divided between the two bands. Beginning at the lower left corner, the runes in the outer band (following Samnordisk runtextdatabas) read as follows: : tula : sati : sten : þ… …[iR kR : sun] : sin : harþa x kuþon : trok : sa x. In normalised Runic Swedish, the message (including the suppletion) is thus: Tōla satti stæin þ[annsi æft]iR GæiR, sun sinn, harða gōðan dræng ‘Tola placed this stone after GæiRR, her son, a very good drængR’, concluding with the demonstrative pronoun sā, which introduces the second part of the inscription. This brings us to the inner band, which provides additional information about the deceased: uarþ : tuþr : o : uastr:uakm : i : uikiku, varð dauðr a vestrvegum i vīkingu ‘died in the west on a “viking voyage”’.
