Runestone Vg 9 from Leksberg

Runestone Vg 9

The rune stone Vg 9 was found in 1878 when the eastern part of the old cemetery wall was removed. The stone made of reddish granite is 1.75 m high, 0.6 m wide and 0.4 m thick. The rune height is 13-16 cm. The runic inscription on the edge reads: "× kunur: arsti: slin: þina: iftiR × a- (i) b × naka × foþur ÷ þrkls ×"

Translated: "Gunnur set this stone naked after Olov, Torkel's father."

Olov nacke is also mentioned on the rune stone Vg 12 in Hindsberg. The female first name Gunnur is a form of the name Gunvor, which also occurs on Vg 36.

The rune stone southeast of the Leksberg church is probably in situ ⊙ . The antiquarian Johannes Bureus (1568–1652) visited the site in 1622. The rune researcher Johan Hadorph (1630–1693) visited the site in 1673 with his royal companion, the young Charles XI. The king was on Eriksgata and the antiquarian was the historical guide. The rune stone at Stora Ek east of Leksberg had also been visited beforehand.
