Book 10

Paragraph
13

Αἰγυπτίους δὲ Ἑκαταῖος ἀρτοφάγους φησὶν εἶναι κυλλήστιας ἐσθίοντας, τὰς δὲ κριθὰς εἰς ποτὸν καταλέοντας. διὰ ταῦτα καὶ Ἄλεξις ἐν τῷ περὶ αὐταρκείας ἔφη μετρίᾳ τροφῇ κεχρῆσθαι τὸν Βόκχοριν καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Νεόχαβιν. καὶ Πυθαγόρας δʼ Σάμιος μετρίᾳ τροφῇ ἐχρῆτο, ὡς ἱστορεῖ Λύκων Ἰασεὺς ἐν τῷ περὶ Πυθαγορείου βίου. οὐκ ἀπείχετο δὲ ἐμψύχων, ὡς Ἀριστόξενος εἴρηκεν. Ἀπολλόδωρος δὲ ἀριθμητικὸς καὶ θῦσαί φησιν αὐτὸν ἑκατόμβην ἐπὶ τῷ εὑρηκέναι ὅτι τριγώνου ὀρθογωνίου τὴν ὀρθὴν γωνίαν ὑποτείνουσα ἴσον δύναται ταῖς περιεχούσαις· ἡνίκα Πυθαγόρης τὸ περικλεὲς εὕρετο γράμμα, κλεινὸς ἐφʼ κλεινὴν ἤγαγε βουθυσίην. ἦν δὲ καὶ ὀλιγοπότης Πυθαγόρας καὶ εὐτελέστατα διεβίου, ὡς καὶ πολλάκις μέλιτι μόνῳ ἀρκεῖσθαι. τὰ παραπλήσια δʼ ἱστορεῖται καὶ περὶ Ἀριστείδου καὶ Ἐπαμεινώνδου καὶ Φωκίωνος καὶ Φορμίωνος τῶν στρατηγῶν. Μάνιος δὲ Κούριος Ῥωμαίων στρατηγὸς ἐπὶ γογγυλίσι διεβίω πάντα τὸν χρόνον· καὶ Σαβίνων αὐτῷ πολὺ χρυσίον προσπεμπόντων οὐκ ἔφη δεῖσθαι χρυσίου, ἕως ἂν τοιαῦτα δειπνῇ. ἱστορεῖ δὲ ταῦτα Μεγακλῆς ἐν τῷ περὶ ἐνδόξων ἀνδρῶν.

CTS URN Retriever

The CTS URN retriever is a tool for retrieving and citing paragraphs, passages, and words in the text of the Deipnosophists by typing the corresponding CTS URN. The Digital Athenaeus is providing the text of the Teubner edition of the Deipnosophists by Georg Kaibel (1887-1890), which is cataloged as perseus-grc2 in the Perseus Catalog.

The syntax of the URNs follows the specification of the CITE Architecture.

For example:

The tool allows also users to type only book and paragraph of the Deipnosophists and get the corresponding CTS URN.

For example:

Correspondences between Casaubon and Kaibel references are available through the Casaubon-Kaibel Reference Converter.

The icons on the left of each paragraph are links to external resources:

Using CTS URNs, it is possible to export citations of the Deipnosophists down to the word level. By selecting a portion of text holding down the ALT-key, users get a pop-up window with the CTS URN that identifies the selected chunk of text.
