    Fascinating. I had no idea runic writing was ever in cipher. I wonder if any of the names on this runestone where known in other histories, or if this is the only record of them?

    One of the names mentioned on the Rök runestone, “þiaurikR”, is interpreted to be Theoderic the Great. There seems to be several interpretations on the text of the stone, and this name is one of the things that researchers interpret differently.

    Klaus–

    The last blog I received from you was on 28 April. I may have been dropped off distribution again. Could you please investigate and add me back into the distribution? Thanks.

    It’s the same for me: I have not received any e-mail notifications of new blog articles for the last couple of weeks.

    @Dan, @Magnus
    since scienceblogs moved to a new server some months ago, it’s a technical disaster. Many comments never appear at all, and the mail notifications seem to be messed up as well now. Unfortunately the publisher Konradin Verlag doesn’t seem to care at all.
