and the translation of its inscription, which reads, "8 Goths and 22 Norwegians on discovery journey from Vinland over the West. We had camp by 2 skerries one days journey north from this stone. We were and fished one day after we came home and found 10 men read with blood and dead. Ave Maria save from evil.
