Mt 4:4a2 ... The-one but having-answered said, ... "It-has-been-written, not by bread alone will-live the man, ..."

Verse 4 has 4 phrases and 20 words. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd phrases have these 4 narrator and 8 dialog words ... Ho de apokritheis eipen, Gegraptai, ouk ep artō monō zēsetai ho anthrōpos (The-one but having-answered said, ... "It-has-been-written, not by bread alone will-live the man, ...").

The 4 narrator and the 8 dialog words are top down. The three empty triangles each hold 15 and 1/6th "loaves of bread" (artoi = 481). The Old Testament source text reads: "God let you be afflicted with hunger to show you that not by bread alone does man live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the Lord" (Deut 8:3).
