Paragraph
78

οὐδὲν οὖν ἦν παράδοξον εἰ καὶ θυτικῆς ἦσαν ἔμπειροι οἱ παλαίτεροι μάγειροι· προίσταντο γοῦν καὶ γάμων καὶ θυσιῶν. διόπερ Μένανδρος ἐν Κόλακι τὸν τοῖς τετραδισταῖς διακονούμενον μάγειρον ἐν τῇ τῆς Πανδήμου Ἀφροδίτης ἑορτῇ ποιεῖ ταυτὶ λέγοντα· σπονδή. δίδου σὺ σπλάγχνʼ ἀκολουθῶν. ποῖ βλέπεις; σπονδή. φέρʼ, παῖ Σωσία. σπονδή. καλῶς. εὔχου. θεοῖς Ὀλυμπίοις εὐχώμεθα Ὀλυμπίαισι, πᾶσι πάσαις· λάμβανε τὴν γλῶτταν. ἐπὶ τούτῳ διδόναι σωτηρίαν, ὑγίειαν, ἀγαθὰ πολλὰ τῶν ὄντων τε νῦν ἀγαθῶν ὄνησιν πᾶσι. ταῦτʼ εὐχώμεθα. καὶ παρὰ Σιμωνίδῃ δέ φησιν ἕτερος· ὗν ὡς ἄφευσα χὠς ἐμίστυλα κρέα ἱρωστί· καὶ γὰρ οὐ κακῶς ἐπίσταμαι ... ἐμφαίνει δʼ αὐτῶν τὴν ἐμπειρίαν καὶ πρὸς Ἀλέξανδρον Ὀλυμπιάδος Ἐπιστολή. προτρεπομένη μάγειρον αὑτῇ πρίασθαι θυσιῶν ἔμπειρον μήτηρ φησί· Πελίγναν τὸν μάγειρον λαβὲ παρὰ τῆς μητρός. οὗτος γὰρ οἶδε τὰ ἱερά σου τὰ πατρῷα πάντα ὃν τρόπον θύεται καὶ τὰ ἀργαδιστικὰ καὶ τὰ Βακχικά, ὅσα τε Ὀλυμπιὰς προθύεται οὗτος οἶδεν. μὴ οὖν ἀμελήσῃς, ἀλλὰ λαβέ· καὶ ἀπόστειλον πρὸς ἐμὲ τὴν ταχίστην.

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.
