Paragraph
71

πόσῳ γὰρ τούτων βελτίων Γοργίας Λεοντῖνος, περὶ οὗ φησιν αὐτὸς Κλέαρχος ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ τῶν Βίων, ὅτι διὰ τὸ σωφρόνως ζῆν σχεδὸν ρʹ ἔτη τῷ φρονεῖν συνεβίωσεν. καὶ ἐπεί τις αὐτὸν ἤρετο τίνι διαίτῃ χρώμενος οὕτως ἐμμελῶς καὶ μετὰ αἰσθήσεως τοσοῦτον χρόνον ζήσειεν, οὐδὲν πώποτε, εἶπεν, ἡδονῆς ἕνεκεν πράξας. Δημήτριος δὲ Βυζάντιος ἐν τετάρτῳ περὶ Ποιημάτων Γοργίας, φησίν, Λεοντῖνος ἐρωτηθεὶς τί αὐτῷ γέγονεν αἴτιον τοῦ βιῶσαι πλείω τῶν ρʹ ἐτῶν, ἔφη τὸ μηθὲν πώποτε ἑτέρου ἕνεκεν πεποιηκέναι. Ὦχος δὲ πολλῷ χρόνῳ τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν λοιπὴν περὶ τὸν βίον χορηγίαν διαρκῆ κτησάμενος, ὡς τελευτῶντος ἠρώτησεν πρεσβύτατος τῶν υἱῶν τί πράσσων τοσαῦτʼ ἔτη διαφυλάξειεν τὴν βασιλείαν, ἵνα καὶ αὐτὸς τοῦτο μιμοῖτο, τὰ δίκαια πράττων, εἶπε, πρὸς ἅπαντας ἀνθρώπους καὶ θεούς. Καρύστιος δʼ Περγαμηνὸς ἐν Ἱστορικοῖς Ὑπομνήμασιν Κηφισόδωρος, φησίν, Θηβαῖος Πολύδωρον τὸν Τήιον ἰατρὸν Ἀντιπάρῳ συσσιτεῖν ψιλοτάπιδα ἔχοντι κρικωτὴν καθάπερ τοὺς στρωματεῖς εὐτελῆ, ἐφʼ ἧς κατακεῖσθαι, κάδους δὲ χαλκοῦς καὶ ποτήρια ὀλίγα· γεγονέναι γὰρ ὀλιγοδίαιτον καὶ τρυφῆς ἀλλότριον.

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.
