Mk 6:22b ... and having-danced she-pleased the Herod and the-ones together-lying-up, ...

The 2nd phrase has these 8 narrator words, ... kai orxēsamenēs ēresen tō Herōdē kai tois sunanakeimenois (and having-danced she-pleased the Herod and the-ones together-lying-up, ...).

The 8 words are clockwise starting bottom left. The 6 words "kai orxēsamenēs ēresen kai tois sunanakeimenois" (and having danced and she pleased the ones together-lying-up) are exactly tangent to the hexagon to where Salome danced and the faces of all six of Herod's guests watching her dance. The word "sunanakeimenois" comes from "sun" (together), "ana" (up), and "keimai" (to lye). The guests need to lye on their stomachs or sides facing the king. If they lied down on their backs, the guests would be showing the king their feet or looking away from him. The 4 words "ēresen tō Herōdē kai" (and she pleased the Herod) are exactly tangent to the hexagon to where Salome danced and the face of Herod. The words "tō Herōdē" (the Herod) are only tangent to Herod if the 8 words are clockwise.
