Mk 15:36c ... Leave-away, let-us-see if Elias ~ comes to-take-down him.

The 5th and 6th phrases have these 7 dialog words: ... Afete, idōmen ei erchetai Elias kathelein auton ("Leave you off, let-us-see if comes Elias to-down-take him").

The 7 words are clockwise starting from the centurion below to Elias above. The verb "Afete," from the preposition apó (away from) and an intensive form the verb "hiemi" (to send away), is a command by the centurion to his soldiers stay put just in case Elias comes down to rescue Jesus. The 2 words "erchetai Elias" (comes Elias) are centered on the corners of the triangle holding Elias. Jesus was now in no condition to drink. He was down to his last breath.
