<center>June 4, 1928 <p>Normal start today, woke early and breakfasted with John and <br> Parker. When we got around to the building on the N side of the <br> sight got a little surprise. We found a chest of written records. <br> Awfully peculiar they survived. One stood out, though. </p> [note in the margin: remember to date runes] Norāthonkūl wōloem ēbdūmdin, “Nowīlomkūl dok nothle elmûnmak, Hū emrōduthom thunuō.” Trans. The two kings from the undercity say, "We still reign among the stones, Defying the Besieger of the World." <p>This most peculiar writing was found in written in fuþark on one<br> of the oldest seeming scrolls. The runes were easy enough, but the<br> language is something else. Don’t quite know how I understood <br> this one, just came into mind after some thought. I’d best not let <br> the thought occupy me too much though. We must finish the excavation. <br>Several other artifacts at the site were found the rest of day. All for now.</p> Brian T.
