English: "Oklundastenen" - A flat piece of rock containing 5 lines of a simpled form of runes, which is very unusual on runic stones and inscriptions. It is dating back to 9th century, 200 years before most of the other runic stones in Östergötland. The inscription is a historical legal document and describes a killer who fled to a holy place at Oklunda to escape blood feud. He later came to terms with the killed man´s family according to the law, with the help of the principal of the holy place.
Svenska: Oklundaristningen hittas på en berghäll vid Oklunda gård i Östra Husby socken på Vikbolandet. Runristningen innehåller fem rader med så kallade kortkvistrunor och dateras till 800-talet e Kr. Inskriften betraktas som ett rättshistoriskt dokument. Runorna på hällen läses nedifrån och upp, dess text lyder: "Gunnar ristade dessa runor/ och han flydde saker/sökte detta vi/och han fick undanröjd/och han band/Vifinn gjorde detta." Innebörden kan tolkas som att Gunnar flytt på grund av ett brott, troligen ett dråp, och tagit sin tillflykt till en helig plats, ett så kallat "vi", i Oklunda. På en sådan plats kunde ingen utkräva blodshämnd. Så småningom sonade han sin skuld och förliktes med den dräptes släkt. Vifinn, viets föreståndare, ordnade uppgörelsen.
