Mk 6:27b ... he-ordered (the executioner) to-bring the head of-him, ...

The 2nd phrase has these 5 narrator words ... epetaksen enegkai tēn kefalēn autou (he-ordered to-bring the head of-him, ...).

The 5 words are top down. The 3 words "epetaksen enegkai tēn" [he ordered (him) to bring the] is tangent to the king and his executioner. The object of "he ordered" is the unsaid noun "the executioner" who was "aposteilas" (sent away) in the previous diagram. The 2 nouns "kefalēn autou" (head of him) are tangent to the two triangles, the bottom one holding John the Baptist in the Watch and the triangle on top holding his head on a platter. The diagram shows the king issuing the order through his grief.
