Mk 6:43b ... twelve baskets full, ...

The 2nd phrase has these 3 narrator words, ... dōdeka kofinōn plērōmata (twelve baskets full, ...).

The 3 words are top down and come to rest tangent to the broken loaves in the center of the bottom basket. The noun "kophinos" indicates a small wicker basket compared to the much larger "spuris," a basket large enough to hold a man. One fullness would be full baskets of broken bread. Another fullness would be "from the fish" in the text that follows.

As you know by now, all text is a running commentary on the diagram that generates it. The meaning of "fullness" was the fragments and now the twelve baskets that perfectly fill the raised Jesus (8880) graph. The circumerence of each broken loaf of bread is 481 units, the gematria value of loaves (artoi = 481). The twelve baskets each contain 16 broken loaves or 32 fragments for a grand total of 384 fragments. Jesus broke the bread down in verse 41. This one shows him raising the fragments of bread up.
