Book 11

Paragraph
18

ἔθος δʼ ἦν πρότερον ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ὕδωρ ἐμβάλλεσθαι, μεθʼ τὸν οἶνον. Ξενοφάνης· οὐδέ κεν ἐν κύλικι πρότερον κεράσειέ τις οἶνον ἐγχέας, ἀλλʼ ὕδωρ καὶ καθύπερθε μέθυ. Ἀνακρέων· φέρʼ ὕδωρ, φέρʼ οἶνον, παῖ, φέρε δʼ ἀνθεμεῦντας ἡμῖν στεφάνους ἔνεικον, ὡς δὴ πρὸς Ἔρωτα πυκταλίζω. πρὸ δὲ τούτων Ἡσίοδος· κρήνης τʼ ἀενάου καὶ ἀπορρύτου, ἥτʼ ἀθόλωτος, τρὶς ὕδατος προχέειν, τὸ δὲ τέτρατον ἱέμεν οἴνου. Θεόφραστος· ἐπεὶ καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν κρᾶσιν ἐναντίως εἶχε τὸ παλαιὸν τῷ νῦν παρʼ Ἕλλησιν ὑπάρχοντι. οὐ γὰρ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶνον ἐπέχεον, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸν οἶνον, ὅπως ἐν τῷ πίνειν ὑδαρεστέρῳ χρῷντο τῷ ποτῷ καὶ τούτου ποιησάμενοι τὴν ἀπόλαυσιν ἧττον ὀρέγοιντο τοῦ λοιποῦ. καὶ τὸ πλεῖστον δὲ εἰς τοὺς κοττάβους κατανήλισκον.

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.
