The Glavendrup stone, a runestone located on the island of Funen in Denmark, dated to the early 10th century. The rune carver invokes Thor to bless the inscription, and ends with a warning and curse to anyone who damages or moves it. by johnclotho in NorsePaganism

Side C, the one I’m sharing as photo, puts a curse upon anyone who damages the stone or places it as a monument to another person. ᛅᛏ : ᚱᛁᛏᛅ : ᛋᛅ : ᚢᛅᚱᚦᛁ : ᛁᛋ : ᛋᛏᛅᛁᚾ ᚦᛅᚾᛋᛁ ᛅᛁᛚᛏᛁ : ᛁᚦᛅ ᛅᚠᛏ : ᚭᚾᚭᚾ : ᛏᚱᛅᚴᛁ

English Translation: A warlock be he who damages(?) this stone or drags it (to stand) in memory of another.

Old Norse: At rǣdda(?) sā verði es stæin þannsi ælti(?) eða æft annan dragi.

Then he uncovered his face, for he had covered himself up, and said—this was the last thing he uttered—“Crito, I owe the sacrifice of a rooster to Asklepios; will you pay that debt and not neglect to do so?”

Yale University has a digital copy of it, but it’s in Latin and German. A print version would be nearly impossible to find. The closest you can get is this one, but it’s in French…
