Uppland Runic Inscription Fv1946;258

The animal heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks.

There are several differences between the two versions based not only on the reading of the runes, but also upon assumptions made regarding missing letters or assumed misspellings from the transliteration to the transcription into Old Norse.

[2] Such assumptions are required since letters were often deliberately left out of the runic text under several accepted rules when carving inscriptions on runestones.

[3] For the text on U Fv1946;258, in the 1946 version Jansson transcribed the runes rauþkar, the name of the father, as an odd spelling of the Germanic name Hroðgæiʀ, which means "Honor Spear.

Seven other runestones signed by Visäte include U 74 in Husby, U 208 in Råcksta, U 236 in Lindö, U 337 in Granby, U 454 in Kumla, U 669 Kålsta, and U 862 in Säva.
