Paragraph
11

παραιτητέον δʼ ἡμῖν τὰ κεράμεα ποτήρια. καὶ γὰρ Κτησίας παρὰ Πέρσαις, φησίν, ὃν ἂν βασιλεὺς ἀτιμάσῃ, κεραμέοις χρῆται. Χοιρίλος δʼ ἐποποιός φησι· χερσὶν ὄλβον ἔχω κύλικος τρύφος ἀμφὶς ἐαγός, ἀνδρῶν δαιτυμόνων ναυάγιον, οἷά τε πολλὰ πνεῦμα Διωνύσοιο πρὸς Ὕβριος ἔκβαλεν ἀκτάς. ἐγὼ δὲ εὖ οἶδα ὅτι ἥδιστα πολλάκις ἐστὶ τὰ κεράμεα ἐκπώματα, ὡς καὶ τὰ παρʼ ἡμῖν ἐκ τῆς Κόπτου καταγόμενα· μετὰ γὰρ ἀρωμάτων συμφυραθείσης τῆς γῆς ὀπτᾶται. καὶ Ἀριστοτέλης δὲ ἐν τῷ περὶ Μέθης αἱ Ῥοδιακαί, φησί, προσαγορευόμεναι χυτρίδες διά τε τὴν ἡδονὴν εἰς τὰς μέθας παρεισφέρονται καὶ διὰ τὸ θερμαινομένας τὸν οἶνον ἧττον ποιεῖν μεθύσκειν. σμύρνης γὰρ καὶ σχοίνου καὶ τῶν τοιούτων ἑτέρων εἰς ὕδωρ ἐμβληθέντων ἕψονται καὶ παραχεόντων εἰς τὸν οἶνον ἧττον μεθύσκουσιν. κἀν ἄλλῳ δὲ μέρει φησίν· αἱ Ῥοδιακαὶ χυτρίδες γίνονται σμύρνης, σχοίνου, ἀνήθου, κρόκου, βαλσάμου, ἀμώμου, κινναμώμου συνεψηθέντων· ἀφʼ ὧν τὸ γινόμενον τῷ οἴνῳ παραχυθὲν οὕτω τὰς μέθας ἵστησιν ὥστε καὶ τῶν ἀφροδισίων παραλύειν τὰ πνεύματα πέττον.

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.
