Mk 8:10b ... he came into the 'sections' of Dalmanutha.

The second phrase has these 5 narrator words, ... ēlthen eis ta merē Dalmanoutha (he came into the sections of Dalmanutha).

The 5 narrator words are top down. This diagram was arrived at by analyzing the word mer'-ay (accusative plural of mer'-os) meaning "a section, part, or allotment of a whole." Most bibles mistranslate this word as the singular noun "region" when instead it is plural. The sign for a "region" is made from twelve equal equilateral triangles that all come together in the center of the graph. In order for Jesus to be "into the sections of a region" all he has to do is step off his "boat." This story doesn't mention the disciples so we can conclude they are at sea, out of view, in their boat.
