 HI Kimmo
In continuation of Randy Buth I found one possible related passage in BT
Nidda 31a : A preborn child in his mothers womb is like a nut in a cup of
water. It is a late babylonian anonimous saying, so I do not know whether if
qualifies as relevant materisl. But it could be a proverb and ancient at
that, we might never find out.
