Jn 5:5c ... having-been in to-the weakness of-him.

The 3rd phrase has these 5 narrator words, ... exōn en tē astheneia autou (having-been in to-the weakness of-him).

The five narrator words are top down. The text says the man was suffering from "asthéneia," meaning "no strength" (the "a" negates the root sthenos, "strength"). "The Weakness" is the name of the Unclean Spirit. The five words are tangent to the man and his "Unclean Spirit" that holds him in a tight grip, trapped inside of it. The sign of an "Unclean Spirit" is a dark equilateral triangle signifying the abstract noun "weakness or infirmity."
