English Häming och Själve och Johan they let cut after their father Finnvid, and Vargas and Ragnfrid, and [after] their mother, and after Ingegärd and after Kalv and Gärdar and ... He owned alone everything first. They were their relatives. God help their spirit. Visäte cut these runes.

The inscription is made on bedrock on the place of the Viking age farm, close to the foundation of a Viking age hall. This is the largets inscription in Uppland, 4.13 x 2.58 m. The ornaments are unusually intricate.

The names of those who commissioned the inscription are mentionened in two groups, why is unclear. Possibly Vargas and Ragnfrid had the same mother, but another father the rest. Kalv and Gärdar and (?) are likely dead.
