Paragraph
39

Μάχων δʼ κωμῳδιοποιὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιγραφομέναις Χρείαις φησὶν οὕτως· ὑπερβολῇ δὲ τῆς Λεαίνης σχῆμά τι περαινομένης εὖ παρά τε τῷ Δημητρίῳ εὐημερούσης, φασὶ καὶ τὴν Λάμιαν τὸν βασιλέʼ εὐμελῶς κελητίσαι ποτὲ ἐπαινεθῆναί θʼ. δὲ τοῦτʼ ἀπεκρίθη· πρὸς ταῦτα καὶ Λέαιναν, εἰ βούλει, κράτει. ἦν δὲ Λάμια σφόδρα εὔθικτος καὶ ἀστικὴ πρὸς τὰς ἀποκρίσεις, καθάπερ καὶ Γνάθαινα, περὶ ἧς ἐροῦμεν. πάλιν δὲ περὶ τῆς Λαμίας Μάχων οὕτω γράφει· Δημήτριός ποθʼ βασιλεὺς γένη μύρων Λαμίᾳ παρὰ πότον παντοδαπῶν ἐπεδείκνυτο. Λάμια δʼ ἦν αὐλητρίς, ἧς σφόδρʼ ἡδέως σχεῖν φασι κνησθῆναί τε τὸν Δημήτριον. ἀποδοκιμαζούσης δὲ πάντα καὶ πάνυ κατεγχλιδώσης τῷ βασιλεῖ, νάρδον τινὰ διένευσʼ ἐνεγκεῖν εὐχερῆ, τῇ χειρί τε ταἰδοῖον ἀποτρίψας καὶ θιγὼν τοῖς δακτύλοις τουτί γε, Λάμια, φησίν, ὀσφράνθητι καὶ εἴσει παρὰ τἄλλα διαφορὰν ὅσην ἔχει. κείνη δὲ γελάσασʼ ἀλλὰ τοῦτʼ, ἔφη, τάλαν, ὄζειν δοκεῖ μοι σαπρότατον πάντων πολύ. Δημήτριος δʼ εἶπʼ· ἀλλὰ μήν, νὴ τοὺς θεούς, ἀπὸ βαλάνου τοῦτʼ ἐστί, Λάμια, βασιλικῆς.

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.
