Rune stone from Skillsta, Uppland (U 887).

According to the Samnordisk runtextdatabas the inscription reads:

Jógeirr ok Fastgeirr ok Auðríkr/Eyríkr létu rétta stein eptir Borggeir, fôður sinn frægan. Sjalfr hjó Auðríkr/Eyríkr eptir sinn fôður rúnar þessar. Ráði sá kunni.

Jógeirr and Fastgeirr and Auðríkr/Eyríkr had the stone erected in memory of Borggeirr, their acclaimed father. Auðríkr/Eyríkr cut these runes himself in memory of his father. Interpret, he who can.
