Upplands runinskrifter 931

Upplands runinskrifter 931

A runestone with a missing left section, found in the ground of Domkyrka in 1866. It is now located outside the church, along with six other stones.

This runestone, known as Upplands runinskrifter 931 (U 931), was originally discovered in the ground of Domkyrka in 1866. Today, it stands outside the church along with six other runestones. The stones were painted with red paint and moved to their current location east of Domkyrkan after three stones were found under pillars in the church during restorations in 1975. Before this, U 931 stood north of the church from 1921.

The original location of U 931 is unknown. The height of the runes is 5-6 centimeters. The left part of the stone is missing, so the writing there is lost. The part of the inscription that remains begins at the top left and goes down toward the right.

The inscription in the runes translates to '. and Jovurfast let raise the stone after his father.'
