Mk 5:9b ... And he says to him, ... "Legion (is) my name, for we are many."

Phrases three through five have these 3 narrator and 6 dialog words, ... Kai legei auto, "Legion onoma moi, hoti polloi esmen" (and he says to him, "Legion (is) a name of me, for many we are")

Diagram 1: The 9 words are bottom up. The man gives the cryptic but truthful answer "Legion." It is not his real name but a geometric-gematria riddle for the name of the possibly thousands of Unclean Spirits infecting him. The name "Legion" was a reference to the number of men in a Roman Legion which consisted of about 5,300 fighting men including officers, plus non-combatants like field surgeons, clerks, special trades, and baggage train handlers, which brings the total up to about 5,653 which matches the perimeter of the second inscribed square inside the raised Jesus (8880) circle.

Diagram 2: The name "Legion" is "a name" the many "Unclean Spirits" possessing the demoniac gave to Jesus. The diagram shows an uncluttered view of the second inscribed square inside the raised Jesus (8880) circle. The perimeter (5653) of this square represents the actual number of Unclean Spirits possessing the demoniac, not the number that will soon be drowned. The name of the man is never given. If over 5000 Unclean Spirits could possess one demoniac, they could easily possess four Roman soldiers.
