‏ Matthew 15:27

Even the dogs ( κα τα κυναρια ). She took no offence at the implication of being a Gentile dog. The rather she with quick wit took Christ's very word for little dogs ( κυναρια ) and deftly turned it to her own advantage, for the little dogs eat of the crumbs ( ψιχιων, little morsels, diminutive again) that fall from the table of their masters ( κυριων ), the children.
