Mk 5:3a ... who had his dwelling down in the tombs, ...

Verse 3 has 3 phrases containing 15 narrator words. The first phrase has these 7 narrator words, ... hos tēn katoikēsin eichen en tois mnēmasin (who the down-dwelling had in the tombs, ...).

The 7 words are bottom up. The 2 words "hos tēn" (who the) are tangent to the man's hands which points to the one who lives in the tombs. The 2 words "katoikēsin eichen" (down-dwelling had) are inside two upside down tombs tangent to the where the man's face is dwelling. The verb "katoikeō," from kata (down) intensifies oikeo (to reside in), ie. "to settle down in a permanent residence, a home." The three triangles that hold the words "en tois mnēmasin" (in the tombs) form a roof over the two triangles holding the words "down-dwelling had." These 5 white triangles and the black Unclean Spirit triangle hold the man who lives inside these "tombs. If the six triangles were all converted into rectangles, the five white ones would make his "house," the dark one would be his "door." The imagery of the triangles holding the text match the imagery of the diagram that can be transfigured into his dwelling.
