Paragraph
34

διαβόητοι δʼ εἰσὶ περὶ τρυφὴν ΣΙΚΕΛΙΩΤΑΙ τε καὶ ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΟΙ, ὡς καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης φησὶν ἐν Δαιταλεῦσιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ γὰρ ἔμαθε ταῦτʼ ἐμοῦ πέμποντος, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον πίνειν, ἔπειτʼ ᾄδειν κακῶς, Συρακοσίαν τράπεζαν Συβαρίτιδάς τʼ εὐωχίας καὶ Χῖον ἐκ Λακαινᾶν ... Πλάτων δʼ ἐν ταῖς Ἐπιστολαῖς φησιν· ταύτην δὴ τὴν διάνοιαν ἔχων εἰς Ἰταλίαν τε καὶ Σικελίαν ἦλθον ὅτε πρῶτον ἀφικόμην. ἐλθόντα δέ με ταύτῃ βίος οὐδαμῇ οὐδαμῶς ἤρεσεν, δίς τε τῆς ἡμέρας ἐμπιπλάμενον ζῆν καὶ μηδέποτε κοιμώμενον μόνον νύκτωρ καὶ ὅσα τούτῳ ἐπιτηδεύματα συνέπεται τῷ βίῳ. ἐκ γὰρ τούτων τῶν ἐθῶν οὔτʼ ἂν φρόνιμος οὐδείς ποτε γενέσθαι τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνθρώπων ἐκ νέου ἐπιτηδεύων δύναιτο, σώφρων δʼ οὐδʼ ἂν μελλήσαι ποτὲ γενέσθαι. κἀν τρίτῳ δὲ Πολιτείας γράφει οὕτως· Συρακοσίαν δέ, φίλε, τράπεζαν καὶ Σικελικὴν ποικιλίαν ὄψου, ὡς ἔοικας, οὐκ αἰνεῖς· ψέγεις δὲ καὶ Κορινθίαν κόρην φίλην εἶναι ἀνδράσιν μέλλουσιν εὖ σώματος ἕξειν καὶ Ἀττικῶν πεμμάτων τὰς δοκούσας εἶναι εὐπαθείας.

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.
