The original inscription:
Torsten reste sten denna efter Halvdan.
Gud hjälpe anden hans.

The English translation:
Torsten raised this stone in memory of Halvdan.
May God help his soul.

Kalle Runemaster
The lower arm of the cross was carved as a whole and does not join the foot of the cross, which in its turn goes all the way down to the knot.

Only one other of Erik's stones, U 738, was carved in the same way.

The x between ”ant x hans” had to be squeezed in for all the runes to fit.

Below, you can see an article in Swedish on U 1157, taken from the book Upplands Runskrifter.
