Tune stone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tune stone is a well known runestone, which was originally placed in the church wall in Tune, Østfold, Norway. It bears one of the longest Norwegian runic inscription in stone. It is dated to about 200-450 CE.
The inscription reads:
- ek WiwaR after Wōdurīdē witanda-halaiban
- worahtō [runō(R)], [fal]h Wōdurīdē staina.
- þrijōR dohtriR dālidun arbija, āsijōstēR arbijanō.
It has been interpreted by Sophus Bugge in 1903 and Carl Marstrander in 1930, but was not interpretated convincingly before 1980 by Ottar Grønvik. The text is about Wodurid who have passed away, and Wiv (possibly his grandson) who raised the stone after him.
