this inscription Inga told that her husband Ragnfastr had died and that he was the sole inheritor of his father Sigfastr. This should be compared with U 329, where his sisters are mentioned, sisters who consequently did not inherit their father. Transliteration of the runes into Latin characters × inka × lit × rista × runaʀ × eftiʀ × raknfast × bonta × sin + han × at[i +] ain ×× by × þina × eftiʀ × sikfast × faþur × sin × kuþ × hialbi × ant þaiʀa × Transcription into Old Norse Inga let rista runaʀ æftiʀ Ragnfast, bonda sinn. Hann atti æinn by þenna æftiʀ Sigfast, faður sinn. Guð hialpi and þæiʀa. Translation in English Inga had the runes carved in memory of Ragnfastr, her husbandman. He alone owned this estate after Sigfastr, his father. May God help their spirits. U 332 The runestone at Vreta, U 332, has disappeared. Its inscription and designs are, however, known thanks to an 18th-century drawing. This rune stone was also raised by Inga, and it adds that both her husband Ragnfastr and their children were dead, as she had inherited them. The text also states that a staff was raised in memory of Ragnfastr. Other inscriptions that indicate that a staff was raised include Sö 196 in Kolsundet, Vs 1 in Stora Ryttern, U 226 in Bällsta, and the now-lost U 849 in Balingsta. On three other inscriptions, DR 40 in Randbøl, Sm 16 in Nöbbele, and Sö 56 in Fyrby, the word "staff" may refer to the staves of the runes in the text. The Hillersjö stone (U 29) ends the family saga by telling that Inga had died without living children and that the property had passed to her mother Gerlög on the island of Färingsö. Transliteration of the runes into Latin characters inka * raisti * staf * auk * staina * at * raknfast * bonta * sin * han * kuam * at * arfi barn * sins * Transcription into Old Norse Inga ræisti staf ok stæina at Ragnfast, bonda sinn. H[o]n kvam at arfi barns sins. Translation in English Inga raised the staff and stones in memory of Ragnfastr, her husbandman. She came to inherit from her children.
