Jn 21:6c ... and no-longer it to-draw were-they-strong (enough), because of-the multitude of-the fish.

The 6th and 7th phrases have these 10 narrator words in this order ... kai ouketi auto elkusai isxuon, apo tou plēthous tōn ixthuōn (And no-longer it to-draw were-they-strong-(enough), because of-the multitude of-the fish).

Each phrase is 5 words in length left to right. The initial phrase ends tangent to the 7 men inside the boat. The 7th phrase ends tangent to the fish in the sea. The rhyming Greek pun of this verse is that the diagram has already been "cast or drawn," there is no need to waste your "strength" to "draw it" again. After one revolution the "16 fishes" swimming around the boat have all been captured in the "16 holes of the net."
