Paragraph
70

εἰ δʼ προειρημένος βασιλεὺς καὶ τὸ τῶν ΤΑΩΝΩΝ πλῆθος ἑωράκει τῶν κατὰ τὴν Ῥώμην, καταπεφεύγει ἂν ἐπὶ τὴν ἱερὰν σύγκλητον, ὡς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ πάλιν τῆς βασιλείας ἐξεληλαμένος. τοσοῦτον γάρ ἐστι τούτων τῶν ὀρνίθων τὸ πλῆθος ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ, ὡς δοκεῖν προμεμαντευμένον τὸν κωμῳδιοποιὸν Ἀντιφάνην ἐν Στρατιώτῃ Τύχωνι εἰρηκέναι τάδε· τῶν ταὧν μὲν ὡς ἅπαξ τις ζεῦγος ἤγαγεν μόνον, σπάνιον ὂν τὸ χρῆμα, πλείους εἰσὶ νῦν τῶν ὀρτύγων. χρηστὸν ἄνθρωπον δʼ ἐάν τις ἕνα μόνον ζητῶν ἴδῃ, ὄψετʼ ἐκ τούτου πονηροὺς πέντε παῖδας γεγονότας. Ἄλεξις δʼ ἐν Λαμπάδι· καταφαγεῖν αὐτὸς τοσοῦτʼ ἀργύριον; οὐδʼ εἰ γάλα λαγοῦ εἶχον, μὰ τὴν Γῆν, καὶ ταὧς κατήσθιον. ὅτι δὲ καὶ τιθασοὺς εἶχον αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις Στράττις παρίστησιν ἐν Παυσανίᾳ διὰ τούτων· πολλῶν φλυάρων καὶ ταὧν ἀντάξια, οὓς βόσκεθʼ ὑμεῖς ἕνεκα τῶν ὠκυπτέρων. Ἀναξανδρίδης ἐν Μελιλώτῳ· οὐ μανικόν ἐστʼ ἐν οἰκίᾳ τρέφειν ταὧς, ἐξὸν τοσουτουὶ δύʼ ἀγάλματʼ ἀγοράσαι. Ἀναξίλας Ὀρνιθοκόμοις· καὶ πρὸς ἐπὶ τούτοις τιθασὸς οἰμώζων ταὧς. Μηνόδοτος δʼ Σάμιος ἐν τῷ περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὸ ἱερὸν τῆς Σαμίας Ἥρας φησίν· οἱ ταοὶ ἱεροί εἰσι τῆς Ἥρας. καὶ μήποτε πρώτιστοι καὶ ἐγένοντο καὶ ἐτράφησαν ἐν Σάμῳ καὶ ἐντεῦθεν εἰς τοὺς ἔξω τόπους διεδόθησαν, ὡς καὶ οἱ ἀλεκτρυόνες ἐν τῇ Περσίδι καὶ αἱ καλούμεναι μελεαγρίδες ἐν τῇ Αἰτωλίᾳ. διὸ καὶ Ἀντιφάνης ἐν τοῖς Ὁμοπατρίοις φησίν· ἐν Ἡλίου μέν φασι γίνεσθαι πόλει φοίνικας, ἐν Ἀθήναις δὲ γλαῦκας. Κύπρος ἔχει πελείας διαφόρους, δʼ ἐν Σάμῳ Ἥρα τὸ χρυσοῦν, φασίν, ὀρνίθων γένος, τοὺς καλλιμόρφους καὶ περιβλέπτους ταὧς. διόπερ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ νομίσματος τῶν Σαμίων ταὧς ἐστιν.

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.
