Book 2
ΚΙΧΛΑΙ. καὶ τούτων ἦσαν καὶ ἄλλων ὀρνίθων ἀγέλαι ἐν τοῖς προπόμασι. Τηλεκλείδης· ὀπταὶ δὲ κίχλαι μετʼ ἀμητίσκων εἰς τὸν φάρυγʼ εἰσεπέτοντο. Συρακούσιοι δὲ τὰς κίχλας κιχήλας λέγουσιν. Ἐπίχαρμος· τάς τʼ ἐλαιοφιλοφάγους κιχήλας. μέμνηται τούτων καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Νεφέλαις. τρία δὲ γένη κιχλῶν Ἀριστοτέλης εἶναι ἱστορεῖ, ὧν τὴν πρώτην καὶ μεγίστην κίσσῃ πάρισον εἶναι, ἣν καὶ καλεῖσθαι ἰξοφάγον, ἐπειδὴ ἰξὸν ἐσθίει· τὴν δὲ τῷ κοσσύφῳ ἴσην, ἣν ὀνομάζεσθαι τριχάδα· τὴν δὲ τρίτην ἐλαχίστην τῶν προειρημένων οὖσαν ἰλλάδα ὀνομάζεσθαι. οἳ δὲ τυλάδα λέγουσιν, ὡς Ἀλέξανδρος ἱστορεῖ ὁ Μύνδιος· ἣν καὶ συναγελαστικὴν εἶναι καὶ νεοττεύειν ὡς καὶ τὰς χελιδόνας. ὅτι τὸ εἰς Ὅμηρον ἀναφερόμενον ἐπύλλιον, ἐπιγραφόμενον δὲ Ἐπικιχλίδες, ἔτυχε ταύτης τῆς προσηγορίας διὰ τὸ τὸν Ὅμηρον ᾄδοντα αὐτὸ τοῖς παισὶ κίχλας δῶρον λαμβάνειν, ἱστορεῖ Μέναιχμος ἐν τῷ περὶ τεχνιτῶν.

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:
- list icon : automatic alignment of index entries with the Greek text of the Deipnosophists (indices by August Meineke, Georg Kaibel, and S. Douglas Olson);
- tag icon : POS tagging of the text through the OpenNLP POSTagger for Ancient Greek.
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.
For example:
- Ath. Deipn. 1.1: Ἀθήναιος μὲν ὁ τῆς βίβλου πατήρ
