Paragraph
8

καλῶς οὖν Ἀρίστων Κεῖός φησιν ἥδιστον ποτὸν εἶναι τὸν ἅμα μὲν γλυκύτητος, ἅμα δʼ εὐωδίας κοινωνοῦντα. διὸ καὶ τὸ καλούμενον νέκταρ κατασκευάζειν τινὰς περὶ τὸν Λυδίας Ὄλυμπον οἶνον καὶ κηρία συγκιρνάντας εἰς ταὐτὰ καὶ τὰ τῶν ἀνθῶν εὐώδη. οἶδα δʼ ὅτι Ἀναξανδρίδης τὸ νέκταρ οὐ ποτόν, ἀλλὰ τροφὴν εἶναι λέγει θεῶν· τὸ νέκταρ ἐσθίω πάνυ μάττων διαπίνω τʼ ἀμβροσίαν καὶ τῷ Διὶ διακονῶ καὶ σεμνός εἰμʼ ἑκάστοτε Ἥρᾳ λαλῶν καὶ Κύπριδι παρακαθήμενος. καὶ Ἀλκμὰν δέ φησι τὸ νέκταρ ἔδμεναι αὐτούς. καὶ Σαπφὼ δέ φησιν· ἀμβροσίας μὲν κρατὴρ ἐκέκρατο, Ἑρμᾶς δʼ ἕλεν ὄλπιν θεοῖς οἰνοχοῆσαι. δʼ Ὅμηρος θεῶν πόμα τὸ νέκταρ οἶδεν. Ἴβυκος δέ φησι τὴν ἀμβροσίαν τοῦ μέλιτος κατʼ ἐπίτασιν ἐννεαπλασίαν ἔχειν γλυκύτητα, τὸ μέλι λέγων ἔνατον εἶναι μέρος τῆς ἀμβροσίας κατὰ τὴν ἡδονήν.

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.
