Mk 13:16b ... "do not (let him) step back into the things behind to take away his garment."

The 2nd phrase has these 9 dialog words, ... mē epistrepsatō eis ta opisō arai to imation autou ["do not (let him) step back into the things behind to take away the garment of him."].

The 9 dialog words are top down from the bottom of the field / (top of the house) to the garment below. The message here is don't return to your homes inside the city. You don't have time to retrieve your garments. The Roman Jewish war is coming. The "things behind" point to the man's "garment" tangent to the base of the house on the ground.
