Paragraph
51

Μυκερῖνον δὲ τὸν Αἰγύπτιον Ἡρόδοτος ἱστορεῖ διὰ τῆς δευτέρας ἀκούσαντα παρὰ τῶν μάντεων ὅτι ὀλιγοχρόνιός ἐστι, λύχνα ποιησάμενον πολλὰ ὁπότε γένοιτο νὺξ πίνειν καὶ εὐπαθεῖν οὔτε ἡμέρας οὔτε νυκτὸς ἀνιέντα· καὶ εἰς τὰ ἕλεα δὲ καὶ τὰ ἄλση νεμόμενον, ἔτι τε ὅπου πύθοιτο ἡβητήρια εἶναι μεθύσκεσθαι. καὶ Ἄμασιν δὲ τὸν καὶ αὐτὸν Αἰγυπτίων βασιλέα Ἡρόδοτος πολλὰ πεπωκέναι φησίν. Ἑρμείας δʼ Μηθυμναῖος ἐν τρίτῃ Σικελικῶν φιλοπότην φησὶ γενέσθαι Νικοτέλη τὸν Κορίνθιον. Φαινίας δὲ Ἐρέσιος ἐν τῷ ἐπιγραφομένῳ Τυράννων ἀναίρεσις ἐκ τιμωρίας Σκόπαν φησὶ τὸν Κρέοντος μὲν υἱόν, Σκόπα δὲ τοῦ παλαιοῦ ὑιδοῦν φιλοποτοῦντα διατελέσαι καὶ τὴν ἐπάνοδον τὴν ἀπὸ τῶν συμποσίων ποιεῖσθαι ἐπὶ θρόνου καθήμενον καὶ ὑπὸ τεσσάρων βασταζόμενον οὕτως οἴκαδε ἀπιέναι. Φύλαρχος δὲ ἐν τῇ ἕκτῃ τῶν ἱστοριῶν Ἀντίοχόν φησι τὸν βασιλέα φίλοινον γενόμενον μεθύσκεσθαί τε καὶ κοιμᾶσθαι ἐπὶ πλέον, εἶθʼ ἑσπέρας πάλιν ἀφυπνιζόμενον ἐπιπίνειν. ἐχρημάτιζέ τε, φησί, νήφων μὲν βραχέα τελέως, μεθύων δὲ τὰ πολλά. διὸ περὶ αὐτὸν δύο ἦσαν οἱ διοικοῦντες τὴν βασιλείαν, Ἄριστος καὶ Θεμίσων, Κύπριοι μὲν γένος καὶ ἀδελφοί, ἐρώμενοι δὲ ἀμφότεροι τοῦ Ἀντιόχου.

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.
