Paragraph
52

ἐγὼ μὲν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τίς τι κατιδεῖν ἐν τούτοις δύναται παιανικὸν ἰδίωμα, σαφῶς ὁμολογοῦντος τοῦ γεγραφότος τετελευτηκέναι τὸν Ἑρμείαν διʼ ὧν εἴρηκεν σᾶς γὰρ φιλίου μορφᾶς Ἀταρνέος ἔντροφος ἠελίου χήρωσεν αὐγάς. οὐκ ἔχει δʼ οὐδὲ τὸ παιανικὸν ἐπίρρημα, καθάπερ εἰς Λύσανδρον τὸν Σπαρτιάτην γραφεὶς ὄντως παιάν, ὅν φησι Δοῦρις ἐν τοῖς Σαμίων ἐπιγραφομένοις Ὥροις ᾄδεσθαι ἐν Σάμῳ. παιὰν δʼ ἐστὶν καὶ εἰς Κρατερὸν τὸν Μακεδόνα γραφείς, ὃν ἐτεκτήνατο Ἀλεξῖνος διαλεκτικός, φησὶν Ἕρμιππος Καλλιμάχειος ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ περὶ Ἀριστοτέλους ᾄδεται δὲ καὶ οὗτος ἐν Δελφοῖς, λυρίζοντός γέ τινος παιδός. καὶ εἰς Ἀγήμονα δὲ τὸν Κορίνθιον Ἀλκυόνης πατέρα, ὃν ᾄδουσιν Κορίνθιοι, ἔχει τὸ παιανικὸν ἐπίφθεγμα. παρέθετο δʼ αὐτὸν Πολέμων περιηγητὴς ἐν τῇ πρὸς Ἀράνθιον Ἐπιστολῇ. καὶ εἰς Πτολεμαῖον δὲ τὸν πρῶτον Αἰγύπτου βασιλεύσαντα παιάν ἐστιν, ὃν ᾄδουσιν Ῥόδιοι· ἔχει γὰρ τὸ ἰηπαιὰν ἐπίφθεγμα, ὥς φησιν Γόργων ἐν τῷ Περὶ τῶν ἐν Ῥόδῳ θυσιῶν. ἐπʼ Ἀντιγόνῳ δὲ καὶ Δημητρίῳ φησὶν Φιλόχορος Ἀθηναίους ᾄδειν παιᾶνας τοὺς πεποιημένους ὑπὸ Ἑρμίππου τοῦ Κυζικηνοῦ, ἐφαμίλλων γενομένων τῶν παιᾶνας ποιησάντων .. καὶ τοῦ Ἑρμοκλέους προκριθέντος. ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ αὐτὸς Ἀριστοτέλης ἐν τῇ Ἀπολογίᾳ τῆς ἀσεβείας, εἰ μὴ κατέψευσται λόγος, φησίν· οὐ γὰρ ἄν ποτε Ἑρμείᾳ θύειν ὡς ἀθανάτῳ προαιρούμενος ὡς θνητῷ μνῆμα κατεσκεύαζον καὶ ἀθανατίζειν τὴν φύσιν βουλόμενος ἐπιταφίοις ἂν τιμαῖς ἐκόσμησα τὸ σῶμα.

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.
