house dog, little dog relatively small light brown domestic animal, feeding on anything from household refuse to animal carcasses and excreta; Canis familiaris putiatini; associated with all sorts of uncleanness, aggression, greediness, low status (diminutive of κύων[a] dog, 4.34, but in the NT the diminutive force may have become lost, though a component of emotive attachment or affection is no doubt retained and thus the reference is presumably to a house dog)

κυνάριον. This dim. of κύων, which occurs ψηαζογ in the NT, is used at least once by Epictetus—iv. 1. 111 εἶθ᾽ οὕτως. . πρόσAde ἐπὶ κυνάριον, ἐπὶ ἱππάριον, ἐπὶ ἀγρίδιον, ‘ then proceed thus . . toa dog, a horse, an estate” (Sharp, p. 23). For the more classical κυνίδιον (Lob. Phryn. p. 180) see M. Antoninus vii. 13 κυνιδίοις ὀστάριον ἐρριμένον, ‘a bone thrown to lap-dogs.
