The Mejlbystenen, also known as runic inscription DR 117 from its Rundata catalog listing, is an approximately 1,000-year-old runestone originally located at Mejlby, near Randers in Denmark. According to a new interactive exhibit of the stone at the Randers Kulturhistoriske Museum, which differs slightly from the accepted Rundata translation, the stone reads:
The inscription has been classified as being carved in runestone style RAK.
