Uppland Runic Inscription 701

Uppland Runic Inscription 701 or U 701, and also known as Kynge stone, is a runestone that is now lost. It was recorded in a drawing in the 17th century by Johan Hadorph and P. Helgonius, as well as Johannes Haquini Rhezelius. Richard Dybeck took up the search for the missing U 701 in 1860 but was not able to find it. It is believed that U 701 was carved by the artist who made runic inscriptions U 700 and U 702. The recorded text ends with a prayer that uses the Norse word salu for soul, which was imported from English and first used on a different inscription during the tenth century.[1]

gollark: If you want to do something actually usefulish, "FORTRESS", you can trilaterate GPS pings and find anyone who sends them (but not actually uniquely identify them since a few versions back).
gollark: If you have a hidden piston door or something and wireless control I guess it makes sense?
gollark: There are valid reasons to spam arbitrary channels, like when someone had a wireless light controller which worked by just checking channel and reply channel, and I knew *approximately* what those were, and wanted to meddle with their lights. But doing it without a target in mind is just pointless.
gollark: Yes, this has always been my problem with door locks; they don't actually do anything in Minecraft's threat model.
gollark: Your program just does nothing interesting.
