Mk 5:18b ... was-begging him, the-one who-was-demonized, that with him he-might-be.

The 2nd through 4th phrases contain these 8 narrator words ... parekalei auton, ho daimonistheis, hina met autou hē (was-begging him, the-one who-was-demonized, that with him he-might-be).

The 8 narrator words are bottom up. The verb "parakalein" (call beside) is translated as "begging" by the bible scholars which looks correct. The two words "ho daimonistheis" (the one having been demon possessed) is tangent to the former demoniac. The phrase "hina met autou hē" (that with him he might be) is tangent to a faint image of the cured demoniac next to the boat. Since the former demoniac is way too big to fit inside the small boat with Jesus, the next verse will put a stop to his hypothetical request.
