Mk 3:17a ... and James the (son) of the Zebedee, ...

The third phrase has these 5 narrator words ... kai Iakōbon ton tou Zebedaiou [And James the (son) of the Zebedee, ...].

The 5 words are bottom up. The convention "the of" in Greek means "the (son) of" or "the (daughter) of." The word "huios" for "son" is understood. The words are still Jesus (888) sized circles because Simon, James, and Jacob are in the middle of another inclusio bracketed by the words "kai epethēken onoma" (and he layed on a name). The father Zebedee according to convention, appears above his son James. The diagram shows Jesus is thinking 5 words at a time and that's how many words fit between James and his father.
