Book 10
Νικόλαος δʼ ὁ περιπατητικὸς ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ πρὸς ταῖς ἑκατὸν τῶν ἱστοριῶν Μιθριδάτην φησὶ τὸν Ποντικὸν βασιλέα προθέντα ἀγῶνα πολυφαγίας καὶ πολυποσίας (ἦν δὲ τὸ ἆθλον τάλαντον ἀργυρίου) ἀμφότερα νικῆσαι. τοῦ μέντοι ἄθλου ἐκστῆναι τῷ μετʼ αὐτὸν κριθέντι Καλαμόδρυι τῷ Κυζικηνῷ ἀθλητῇ. καὶ Τιμοκρέων δʼ ὁ Ῥόδιος ποιητὴς καὶ ἀθλητὴς πένταθλος ἄδην ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιεν, ὡς τὸ ἐπὶ τοῦ τάφου αὐτοῦ ἐπίγραμμα δηλοῖ· πολλὰ πιὼν καὶ πολλὰ φαγὼν καὶ πολλὰ κάκʼ εἰπὼν ἀνθρώπους κεῖμαι Τιμοκρέων Ῥόδιος. Θρασύμαχος δʼ ὁ Χαλκηδόνιος ἔν τινι τῶν προοιμίων τὸν Τιμοκρέοντά φησιν ὡς μέγαν βασιλέα ἀφικόμενον καὶ ξενιζόμενον παρʼ αὐτῷ πολλὰ ἐμφορεῖσθαι. πυθομένου δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως ὅ τι ἀπὸ τούτων ἐργάζοιτο, εἶπε Περσῶν ἀναριθμήτους συγκόψειν. καὶ τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ πολλοὺς καθʼ ἕνα νικήσας μετὰ τοῦτο ἐχειρονόμησε. πυνθανομένου δὲ τὴν πρόφασιν ὑπολείπεσθαι ἔφη τοσαύτας, εἰ προσίοι τις, πληγάς. Κλέαρχος δʼ ἐν πέμπτῳ βίων Καντιβάρι φησὶ τῷ Πέρσῃ, ὁπότε κοπιάσειε τὰς σιαγόνας ἐσθίων, κεχηνότι καθάπερ εἰς ἄψυχον ἀγγεῖον εἰσαντλεῖν τὴν τροφὴν τοὺς οἰκείους. Ἑλλάνικος δʼ ἐν αʹ Δευκαλιωνείας Ἐρυσίχθονά φησι τὸν Μυρμιδόνος, ὅτι ἦν ἄπληστος βορᾶς, Αἴθωνα κληθῆναι. Πολέμων δʼ ἐν αʹ τῶν πρὸς Τίμαιον παρὰ Σικελιώταις φησὶν Ἀδηφαγίας ἱερὸν εἶναι καὶ Σιτοῦς Δήμητρος ἄγαλμα, οὗ πλησίον ἱδρῦσθαι καὶ Ἱμαλίδος, καθάπερ ἐν Δελφοῖς ερμούχου, ἐν δὲ Σκώλῳ τῷ Βοιωτιακῷ Μεγαλάρτου καὶ Μεγαλομάζου.

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:
- list icon : automatic alignment of index entries with the Greek text of the Deipnosophists (indices by August Meineke, Georg Kaibel, and S. Douglas Olson);
- tag icon : POS tagging of the text through the OpenNLP POSTagger for Ancient Greek.
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.
For example:
- Ath. Deipn. 1.1: Ἀθήναιος μὲν ὁ τῆς βίβλου πατήρ
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0008.tlg001.perseus-grc2:1.1@Ἀθήναιος[1]-πατήρ[1]
