Runestone in Skåne
- Transliteration: as(b)iarn × risþi (×) stin × þan(s)i × aftiʀ : tuark : filaka × sin : trik : kuþan
- Transcription: Æsbiorn resþi sten þænsi æftiʀ Dwærg, felaga sin, dræng goþan
- Translation (Swedish): Asbjörn reste sten denna efter Dvärg, kamraten sin, en god dräng.
- Translation (English): Asbjörn raised this stone after Dvärg (Tuark), his comrade, a good fighter.
The runestone is not in its original location but by the church in Fosie, a southern suburb of Malmo in Scania, Sweden. The stone, slightly damaged on the side, is 1.85 m high, 0.8 m wide and 0.7 m thick.
