Probably written by an Engiishman or a FrisJander. We have here 3
remarkable archaisms, the 3rd person singular present in TH, the nom.
sing. mase. in S, and the 3 sing. Past in O. The second would seem to
point to Engiand or Frisland. The last Rane is the Old-Northern % (O),
the oniy Old-Northern letter in Maeshowe.
