Mk 6:48b ... around a-'fourth watch' of-the night, ...

The 3rd phrase has these 5 gospel narrator words ... peri tetartēn fulakēn tēs nuktos (around a-'fourth watch' of-the night, ...).

The 5 words are bottom up. Jesus is still watching the boat from the mountain, God the Father is still blowing "the wind," and the two Greek words "tetarten fulaken" (fourth watch) is tangent to the white equilateral triangle that has just appeared at the bottom of the graph. This part of the verse uses the hexagon as a clock face to work. The word peri, meaning "around," appears two times in this verse but most bibles delete this word from their translations! The "fourth watch" (tetartēn fulakēn) of the night was 3 to 6 am, the last four numbered markers of the evening. This verse confirms the location for a phulake is the bottom of the graph
