Mk 5:17 ... And they began to call beside him to leave from their region.

Verse 17 contains the following 9 narrator words, ... Kai ērksanto parakalein auton apelthein apo tōn oriōn autōn (And they began to call beside him to leave from the region of them).

The 9 words are bottom up. The words "Kai ērksanto parakalein" (And they began to call beside) is tangent to the two men from the city and the two from the farm fields. It means there is more to follow. The five word command apelthein apo tōn oriōn autōn (to leave from the region of them) completely brackets Jesus and it's reflection is tangent to the entire mountain region that belongs to the citizens of the Dekopolis.
