Secondary Inscription
	Roosval and Lagerlöf (1959, p. 524) described the inscription as almost erased and only mentioned the clearly legible names Margrete Gurpa and Mats G. Even in the 1980s, when Böttger-Niedenzu rediscovered the picture stone, the inscription was heavily overgrown and barely legible, but it has since been cleaned and redrawn with black paint. Only a few places remained unclear, but the corresponding letters are easy to reconstruct. Böttger-Niedenzu believed that the entire inscription was written in Latin, but it actually is in Danish. It is placed on bands consisting of two parallel lines, four horizontal bands on the base of the picture stone, featuring the beginning and the end of the inscription, and one band framing the stone. The base of the picture stone has represented the head of the recumbent grave slab, the beginning and the end of the inscription are now consequently upside down. The two upper (now lower) corners are decorated with circular lines. 

Transliteration: 
AN[N]O:D[OMI]NI:1582:LOD:MARGRETA:GURPA:LEGE:DEN[N]E:STEN:OFVER:SIN:SALIGE:HOSBONDE:MATS:G[URPA]:AFD? NAFN:GVD GIFVE HANN[EM] EN SALIG OPSTAND[ELSE] OIHG 

Translation: 
In the year of our Lord 1582, Margreta Gurpa had this stone raised over her blessed husband Mats Gurpa by name. May God grant him blessed resurrection. OIHG 

The final sequence OIHG is probably to be understood as the initials of other family members, whereby the G at the end may indicate that these also come from Gurpa/Gurpe.
