Södermanland Runic Inscription 367

The inscription has a facial mask and describes two men as being thegns and the owners of Sleðabrú, which today is modern day Släbro.

[1] A small cross is at the bottom of the center line of text, and it has been suggested that the facial mask represents Jesus Christ.

[1] Sö 367 was discovered broken in three pieces in a bathing area of the Nyköpingsån river near a farm in 1935, although it may have been noted in an earlier runestone survey conducted in the 1600s.

The exact status of thegns in Scandinavia is unclear, although the term was borrowed from England, where it was used for royal or military retainers.

"[2] However, it has been suggested that the first part of the name comes from the stem slaiðo which means "slowly gliding," and refers to the Nyköpingsån river.
