Mk 6:8c ... not a-bread, not a-sack, ...

The 3rd and 4th phrases have these 4 narrator words, ... mē pēran, mē arton, (not a-sack, not a-bread, ...).

The 2 narrator words of the third phrase are top down in the see-through triangle on the left and the 2 narrator words of the fourth phrase are top down in the see-through triangle on the right. The hands of Jesus are tangent to the see-through triangles. The word pēra is a "leather bag or sack for food." By deduction, a singular "loaf of bread" (arton) on the right is inside a "pēra" (a leather sack for food). The leather bags on the left and right are tangent to the see-through triangles holding the 4 words above them and the see-through triangle and the "the way" below them. The Greek words "pēran" and "arton" in verse Mk 6:8 seem to be inter-changeable in the ancient manuscripts. However, I think the word "pēran" might come before "arton" in the earliest manuscripts. The sign for a single "loaf of bread" (artoi = 481) just happens to be virtually tangent to the inside of a 'leather bag' made from four 1480 sized vesicas.
