Einang Stone

]]
The Einang stone (''Einangsteinen'') is a Rune Stone near Fagernes , Norway . It bears an Elder Futhark inscription in Proto-Norse , dated to the 4th Century . It is the oldest rune stone still standing at its original location, and it may be the earliest inscription to mention the name ''runo'' " Rune ", possibly, as it appears in the singular, still used in the original sense "secret".

The inscription reads:

(Ek go)ðagastir runo faihido

Which translates as:

(I, Gu)dgjest inscribed the runes

The first four letters have not survived and are conjectured, the personal name may have been ''GudagastiR'', or similar.

The Einang rune stone is located within the Garberg burial site.
