Runestone in Skåne

- Transliteration: þurkisl × sati × kubl × þausi × aftiʀ × tuma × sban / fruþaʀ sun × faþur × sin harþa kuþan / þikn

- Transcription: Þorgisl satti kumbl þøsi æftiʀ Toma Span Frøþaʀ sun, faþur sin, harþa goþan þægn.

- Translation (Swedish): Torgils (Truls) satte dessa minnesmärken efter sin fader Tomme den spåkunnige, Fröds son, en mycket duglig tägn.

- Translation (English): Torgils (Truls) set these memorials after his father Tomme the soothsayer, Fröds son, a very capable sign.

The stone's original location is unknown. It was found in 1693 and was then inserted into Baldringe's cemetery wall. After that it was lost until it was found again in 1884-85 in connection with a rebuild. The stone was then erected again and today stands thirteen meters west of the church.
