Transliteration

The first line reads:
*ek erilaz sa wilagaz hateka :or
*ek erilaz sa(=i)wilagaz hateka :The second line reads
*aaaaaaaazzznnn-b- muttt : alu :

Transcription into Proto-Norse

The first line is transcribed as either
*"Ek erilaz sa Wilagaz haite'ka"or
*"Ek erilaz Sawilagaz haite'ka"On the second line only "alu" is transcribed by Rundata:
*... ... "alu"

Translation in English

The first line is translated as
*I the eril am called the wilyor
*I the eril am called SawilagazWhile the second line may refer to ale:
*... ... 'alu' (ale?)

"Sawilagaz" means "the one of the Sun (Sowilo)".

The inscription contains the controversial term and the title "erilaz". This sequence has been interpreted as a magical formula: the three consecutive stacked Tiwaz runes as an invocation of Tyr, and the eight "As" runes as an invocation or symbolic list of eight Æsir.
