Mk 6:55b ... and they-began upon the beds the-ones illness having to-carry-around, ...

The 2nd phrase has 9 narrator words in this order, ... kai ērksanto epi tois krabattois tous kakōs echontas periferein (and they-began upon the beds the-ones illness having to-carry-around, ...).

The 9 words are bottom up. The word "began" implies an action started but not completed. The 2 words "and they-began" are tangent to only two of the four men beginning to carry. The 3 words "upon the beds" are tangent to "the two beds." The 4 words "tous kakōs echontas periferein" (the-ones illness having to-carry-around) are tangent to the two sick people carried around on their beds (unclean spirits).
