Hyby rune stones
The rune stones from Hyby , listed in the Rundata catalog under DR 264 and DR 265, are two rune stones from the Viking Age in Hyby near Vissmarlöv , about two kilometers southeast of Klågerup in Skåne in Sweden .
Runestone DR 264
The inscription in runestone Hyby 1 (DR 264) is carved into a 0.9 meter high granite stone, which was discovered in a field near Vissmarlöv in 1624 and moved to its current location in the 1940s. The inscription on both sides of the stone consists of rune text in the younger Futhark , in the oldest rune stone style RAK. It is the classification for runic ribbons with straight ends that have no serpentine elements on them. The inscription is carved in the style of the small Jelling stone. A Christian cross and a deer are cut into the A-side. The runic text says that Þórðr carved the inscription and that a man named Folkvé or Fullugi Haugbýr owned what is now Hyby.
The stone is also known locally as Hybysten or Vissmarlövsten .
Runestone DR 265
The runestone Hyby 2 (DR 265) was lost before 1850. The inscription on the rune stone is known from a drawing by Nils Wessman (1712–1763), which was made around 1757 while visiting Skåne. He also drew the Håstadsten and the Lilla Harriesten .
Based on the drawing, the runic text in the younger Futhark begins at the bottom of the stone. The first word ranuiþi was written with a binder rune that combines an n rune and a u rune. Translated it reads:
<ranuiþi> <huas> erected this stone in memory of <þanfuþ>.
