Mk 8:26a ... And he sent him into his house saying, ...

Verse 26 has two phrases of 7 narrator and 5 dialog words. The first phrase has these 7 narrator words ... Kai apesteilen auton eis oikon autou legōn (And he sent him into a house of him saying, ...).

The 7 narrator words are top down. Since the focus of the phrase is on the cured man, not Jesus, the size of the words match the size of the man. From verse 8:23 we know Jesus carried the blind man outside the village. From this verse we know he has not returned and that his house must be outside the village. The 4 words "auton eis oikon autou" (him into a house of him) is tangent to the head of the cured blind man inside his house. His "village" (the union of six rectangles), the same area as the house, is outside, below him.
