Runestone from Släbro
The runestone of Släbro ( Samnordisk runtextdatabas Sö 367) is in Släbro near Nyköping in Södermanland in Sweden . The mask stone was found in 1935.
The rune stone made of gneiss is 1.78 meters high, 0.65 meters wide and 0.1-0.2 meters thick. The rune height is 7.0 to 15 centimeters. The carving is painted with red paint.
The stone is unusual because in addition to the text it contains a face of the same type as in Sö 112 in Kolunda and Sö 167 in Landshammar, possibly depicting the god Thor . The stone lacks the Christian cross. It is considered to be one of the oldest in the southeast of Södermanland.
The text says:
Hamundr, Ulfʀ ræisþu stæin þennsi æftiʀ Hrolf, faður sinn, Øyborg at ver sinn. Þæiʀ attu by Sleðabro, Frøystæinn, Hrolfʀ, þrottaʀ þiagnaʀ
Translated:
Håmund (and) Ulv put this stone after Rolv, their father, Öborg after their husband. They owned the village of Släbro, Frösten (and) Rolv (were) able men.
Frost was probably Rolv's brother. It is probably the same frost that is mentioned on the immediately adjacent rune stone Sö 45 .
