The runestone is in a private garden on the north side of Prästgatan, behind the arborvitae hedge. Unfortunately, it is hard to find from outside, but please do not enter the garden.

“The guild brethren of  the Frisians had these runes cut in memory of  Albod, Slode’s partner. Holy Christ help his soul. Torbjörn carved”.

During the 11th  century,  maybe  earlier,  merchants  who  sailed  distant  seas established guilds for mutual protection and aid. The guild brethren were bound by oath to help each other through difficulties and share benefits and profit. Slodi is originally a by-name with the meaning ’the lazy one’. Torbjörn has also carved the boulder U391 at Prästgatan and a fragment of a rune stone in the ruin of St Olof’s Church. His inscriptions are clumsy and he never seems to have mastered the art of carving ornaments. Torbjörn was active in Sigtuna and vicinity around the mid-1000s.
