Paragraph
9

διόπερ συνιοῦσι καὶ ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τὰς Διονυσιακὰς ταύτας λαλιὰς οὐδεὶς ἂν εὐλόγως φθονήσαι νοῦν ἔχων, κατὰ τοὺς Ἀλέξιδος Ταραντίνους, οἳ τῶν πέλας οὐδένʼ ἀδικοῦμεν οὐδέν. ἆρʼ οὐκ οἶσθʼ ὅτι τὸ καλούμενον ζῆν τοῦτο διατριβῆς χάριν μόνον ἐστὶν ὑποκόρισμα τῆς ἀνθρωπίνης μοίρας; ἐγὼ γάρ, εἰ μὲν εὖ τις κακῶς φήσει με κρίνειν, οὐκ ἔχοιμʼ ἄν σοι φράσαι· ἔγνωκα γοῦν οὕτως ἐπισκοπούμενος εἶναι μανιώδη πάντα τἀνθρώπων ὅλως, ἀποδημίας δὲ τυγχάνειν ἡμᾶς αἰεὶ τοὺς ζῶντας, ὥσπερ εἰς πανήγυρίν τινα ἀφειμένους ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου καὶ τοῦ σκότους εἰς τὴν διατριβὴν εἰς τὸ φῶς τε τοῦθʼ, δὴ ὁρῶμεν. ὃς δʼ ἂν πλεῖστα γελάσῃ καὶ πίῃ καὶ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ἀντιλάβηται τὸν χρόνον τοῦτον ὃν ἀφεῖται, κἂν τύχῃ γʼ, ἐράνου τινός, πανηγυρίσας ἥδιστʼ ἀπῆλθεν οἴκαδε. καὶ κατὰ τὴν καλὴν οὖν Σαπφώ· ἐλθέ, Κύπρι, χρυσίαισιν ἐν κυλίκεσσιν ἁβρῶς συμμεμιγμένον θαλίαισι νέκταρ οἰνοχοοῦσα τούτοις τοῖς ἑταίροις ἐμοῖς τε καὶ σοῖς.

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.
