The Berezan' Runestone (X UaFv1914;47) was discovered in 1905 by Ernst von Stern, professor at Odessa,[1] on Berezan' Island (also known as the Island of St Aitherios) where the Dnieper River meets the Black Sea.[2] The runestone is 48 cm (19 in) wide, 47 cm (19 in) high and 12 cm (4.7 in) thick,[3] and kept in the museum of Odesa.[2] It was made by a Varangian (Viking) trader named Grani in memory of his business partner Karl.[4] They were probably from Gotland, Sweden.
