Men Ulv har i England tagit tre gälder. Det var den första, som Toste gäldade. Sedan gäldade Torkel. Sedan gäldade Knut

But Ulv had taken three gelds in England. The first was the one that Toste paid. Then Thorkel paid. Then C**t paid.

The stone now stands to the left of the entrance to Orkesta Church. The Ulv mentioned in the inscription is the same man referred to on U 336, which stands a few meters to the left. Ulv had taken part in the extortion of England on three occasions.
