Newton's Cat

Greek: magdalia (shortened form of apomagdalia), "the crumb or inside of the loaf on which the Greeks wiped their hands at dinner then threw it to the dogs", hence; "dog's meat".

Mark 7, 24-30

A Greek woman approaches Jesus and asks him to heal her daughter. He says:

Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the childrens' bread and throw it to the dogs.

She replies:

Yes, Lord; and yet the dogs under the table eat from the crumbs of the children.
