Ekilla

Þróndr/Randr and Ríki(?) and Guðrún, these brothers had this stone raised in memory of Brúni, their father. May God help his soul.

In two places (auk kuþrun and hons salu) the last letter of one word was the same as the first in the next one, so the carver only used the rune once. Thus it reads "aukuþrun" and "honsalu". This rune stone is in a very good condition, and it was once moved from Ekilla to its present site : in the park of Steninge castle.
