Knowledge of runic writing reached the Nordic countries,
as early as the 3:rd century A.D.
After 400 A.D. it began to be used for inscriptions on stones.
The stone was usually put up to commemorate
a dead person or some great deed.

The inscription reads:

I myself, the Herul, is called Leubar.
The one who carved the runs is called Harabanar.

(Herul = a kind of nationality or chieftain)
