*neotto/s
Adler number: nu,214
Translated headword: chick, nestling, yolk
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the yolk of an egg, and the reddish-yellow [part].
Menander in
Andria [writes]: "and after this, my dearest, the yolk of four eggs."[1]
Clearchus in his book
On Wines says: "the origin comes under the white membrane; for the seed is in this and not in what they call 'yolk.' For the earliest [writers] were deceived when they said this. And the yellow [part] is an excretion of the seed."[2] But
Chrysippus in
On Oracles also bears witness that they called the yellow [part]
neotto/n. For he says that someone saw a dream that eggs were hanging from his bed and submitted it to a dream-interpreter, who said, "If you dig in that place you will find a treasure." When he found a wine-jar in which were silver and gold, he brought some of the silver to the prophet. The prophet said, "Aren't you giving me any of the yolk?"[3] And
Diphilos has used the expression "the yolks of eggs ran through in it."[4]

Clearchus fr.74a FHG (2.326).
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 8.345E (8.35 Kaibel) gives the title as
peri\ qinw=n On Sands (?), and this is adopted in F.Wehrli's edition of the fragments of
Clearchus (at no.98) -- though Wehrli assigns this actual fragment (no.76b) to another work,
Proverbia. Jonathan Toup ventured to correct it to
peri\ w)|w=n "On Eggs." Dobree emended
oi( prw=toi "earliest" to
oi( pro\ tou= "those before our time."
