70 RUNIC STONES MENTIONING THE WESTERN PARTS. Nafni reisti stein jicnna eftir Toka brodur sinw; hanre vard vestr daudr arf: “Nafne raised this stone after Tuke his brother; he died in the West.” The concluding word -tR-P1 may perhaps be incorrectly copied, and it may be we ought to read I hlKIKD, i vikingu, as on the Strd stone, L 1448, W 147. 29. NORWAY (county of Bratsberg, district of Ovre Thelemarken, parish of Evie): Evie-Moe near Fennie Foss; the inscription forms two straight bands, the one beside the other, and has a cross at the end. (L 1457, W 493; Nordisk Tidsskrift for OIdkyndighed 1 p. 310, 411-413). hi* j» S3 ^ !

Arnsteinn reisti stein jaenna eftir Bjorw, son sinn; sa var driudr i lidi, is Knutr soMi England : “Arnstein raised this stone after his son Biorn; he died in the host (or more properly: in the fleet), when Knut invaded England.” Lid here and on the Tackhammar stone (above p. 340) is probably not the name of the town (Leith), England and not Scotland being expressly named; lid signifies a ship, a fleet, see Snorra Edda I, p. 252, 544 and Hervarar saga c. 5 (my edition in Antiquites Russes et Orientales 1 p. 149). This Bidrn may have accompanied Canute the Great to England; or he may have partaken in the expedition to that country of the Danish prince Canute Sveinson 1075. The sense of the words “nis gojj” is uncertain , per- haps the meaning is “have an eye upon us, oh God!”
