Paragraph
19

μέγα γὰρ ἀνθρώποις κακὸν γαστήρ, περὶ ἧς φησιν Ἄλεξις ἐν Συναποθνῄσκουσι· μάθοις τʼ ἂν οἷον ἀνθρώποις κακόν ἐστιν γαστήρ, διδάσκει δʼ οἷʼ ἀναγκάζει θʼ ὅσα. εἴ τις ἀφέλοι τοῦτʼ ἀφʼ ἡμῶν τὸ μέρος ἀπὸ τοῦ σώματος, οὔτʼ ἂν ἀδικοῖτʼ οὐδὲν οὐδεὶς οὔθʼ ὑβρίζοι τἂν ἑκών. νῦν δὲ διὰ ταύτην ἅπαντα γίνεται τὰ δυσχερῆ. Δίφιλος δʼ ἐν Παρασίτῳ· εὖ γʼ κατάχρυσος εἶπε πόλλʼ Εὐριπίδης, νικᾷ δὲ χρεία μʼ ταλαίπωρός τέ μου γαστήρ. ταλαιπωρότερον οὐδέν ἐστι γὰρ τῆς γαστρός· εἰς ἣν πρῶτον ἐμβαλεῖς ὅσʼ ἂν οὐχ ἕτερον εἰς ἀγγεῖον. ἐν πήρᾳ φέροις ἄρτους ἄν, ἀλλʼ οὐ ζωμόν, διαφθερεῖς. εἰς σπυρίδα μάζας ἐμβαλεῖς, ἀλλʼ οὐ φακῆν· οἰνάριον εἰς λάγυνον, ἀλλʼ οὐ κάραβον. εἰς τὴν θεοῖς ἐχθρὰν δὲ ταύτην εἰσφόρει πάνθʼ ἑαυτοῖς μηδὲν ὁμολογούμενα. κοὐ προστίθημι τἄλλα, διότι πανταχοῦ διὰ τὴν τάλαιναν πάντα ταῦτα γίνεται. καὶ Κράτης δʼ κυνικός, ὥς φησι Σωσικράτης ἐν ταῖς Διαδοχαῖς, ἐπερράπισε Δημήτριον τὸν Φαληρέα σὺν τῇ πήρᾳ τῶν ἄρτων καὶ λάγυνον πέμψαντα οἴνου· εἴθε γάρ, ἔφη, τὰς κρήνας καὶ ἄρτους ἦν φέρειν. Στίλπων δʼ οὐ κατεπλάγη τὴν ἐγκράτειαν καταφαγὼν σκόροδα καὶ κατακοιμηθεὶς ἐν τῷ τῆς Μητρὸς τῶν θεῶν ἱερῷ· ἀπείρητο δὲ τῷ τούτων τι φαγόντι μηδὲ εἰσιέναι. ἐπιστάσης δὲ αὐτῷ τῆς θεοῦ κατὰ τοὺς ὕπνους καὶ εἰπούσης ὅτι φιλόσοφος ὤν, Στίλπων, παραβαίνεις τὰ νόμιμα, καὶ τὸν δοκεῖν ἀποκρίνασθαι κατὰ τοὺς ὕπνους· σὺ δέ μοι πάρεχε ἐσθίειν καὶ σκορόδοις οὐ χρήσομαι.

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.
