Mk 12:1c ... "and he dug out a catch-vat, ..."

The 4th phrase has these 3 dialog words, ... kai ōruksen hupolēnion ("And he dug out an under-vat, ...").

The 3 dialog words are top down. The word "hupolēnion," comes from the preposition "hupo" (under) and the noun "lēnos" (trough, catch-vat). The hupolēnion is a stone vat under a winepress used to catch the juice from the pressed grapes. The diagram corresponds to the huge stone walls around the city of Jerusalem.
