Translation
Austmaðr, Guðfastr's son, had this stone raised and this bridge built and Christianized Jamtaland. Ásbjörn built the bridge. Trjónn and Steinn carved these runes.
A reading of the Frösö Runestone's text in Old East Norse.
On it is inscribed:
Austmaðr, Guðfastr's son, had this stone raised and this bridge built and Christianized Jämtland. Ásbjörn built the bridge. Trjónn and Steinn carved these runes.
The following Old Norse person and place names appear in the inscription:
Austmaðr (English: Man from the East) - An Old West Norse[citation needed] speaking man from Mainland Scandinavia. Similarly, Vestmaðr (English: Man from the West) was an Old West Norse-speaking Briton.
Guðfastr (English: He who is faithful to God)
Jamtaland (English: Land of the "Jamtar"- The Old Norse name for Jämtland where jamti may mean 'hard-working person'; cf. German adjective emsig 'hard-working'.)
Ásbjörn (English: God Bear)
Trjónn - (English: Snout - A name more or less specific to Jämtland, and also found in several Medieval documents from Jämtland[1])
Steinn (English: Stone)
The stone is also unique[citation needed] in that it was done in memory of Austmaðr's Christianization of Jämtland and bridge building, rather than as a cenotaph. The stone dates to between 1030 and 1050. It has now been relocated to the lawn in front of the local county seat due to the construction of a new bridge, between 1969 and 1971, on the original site.
