Mk 4:15d ... "and he-took-up the word of-the ones-sown into them."

The 4th phrase has these 8 dialog words, ... kai airei ton logon, ton esparmenon eis autous ("and he-took-up 'the word,' of-the ones-sown into them").

The 8 dialog words are top down and show the places where "the word" and the two men need to be drawn. The verb airei means "to take up, raise, or lift." The 4 words "kai airei ton logon 443" (and he took up the word) are tangent to the curved diamonds holding "the 443-words." The last 4 words, "ton esparmenon eis autous" (of-the ones-sown into them) refer to the ten 443-words sown into the two men but also to the 8 spoken words that are tangent to the two equilateral triangles holding the heads of the two men. Verse 4:15 contains 26 words. The diagram shows Satan has taken up 10 (443-words) from in the two men and raised them up into an array of 26 (443 words) to his own ears, head, and heart. Verse 15 of the Byzantine Gospel of Mark has 28 words. It's last verse has these 10 words "and he took up the word of the ones that were sown into the hearts them."
