Paragraph
9

οὐδεὶς φιλοπότης ἐστὶν ἄνθρωπος κακός. γὰρ διμάτωρ Βρόμιος οὐ χαίρει συνὼν ἀνδράσι πονηροῖς οὐδʼ ἀπαιδεύτῳ βίῳ, φησὶν Ἄλεξις, καὶ ὅτι οἶνος φιλολόγους πάντας ποιεῖ τοὺς πλείονα πίνοντας αὐτόν. δὲ ποιήσας τὸ εἰς Κρατῖνον ἐπίγραμμά φησιν· οἶνός τοι χαρίεντι πέλει μέγας ἵππος ἀοιδῷ, ὕδωρ δὲ πίνων χρηστὸν οὐδὲν ἂν τέκοις. ταῦτʼ ἔλεγεν, Διόνυσε, καὶ ἔπνεεν οὐχ ἑνὸς ἀσκοῦ Κρατῖνος, ἀλλὰ παντὸς ὠδώδει πίθου. τοιγάρ οἱ στεφάνων δόμος ἔβρυεν, εἶχε δὲ κιττῷ μέτωπον οἷα καὶ σὺ κεκροκωμένον. Πολέμων φησὶν ἐν Μουνυχίᾳ ἥρωα Ἀκρατοπότην τιμᾶσθαι, παρὰ δὲ Σπαρτιάταις Μάττωνα καὶ Κεράωνα ἥρωας ὑπό τινων μαγείρων ἱδρῦσθαι ἐν τοῖς φειδιτίοις. τιμᾶται δὲ καὶ ἐν Ἀχαίᾳ Δειπνεὺς ἀπὸ τῶν δείπνων σχὼν τὴν προσηγορίαν. ἐκ τροφῆς ξηρᾶς οὔτʼ ἂν σκώμματα γένοιτο, οὔτʼ αὐτοσχέδια ποιήματα, ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ κόμπος οὐδὲ ψυχῆς ἀλαζονεία. καλῶς οὖν ἐν τῷ πῆ ἔβαν εὐχωλαὶ ἃς ἐν Λήμνῳ ἠγοράασθε, ἔσθοντες κρέα πολλὰ καὶ πίνοντες οἴνου κρατῆρας ἐπιστεφέας ἐπεσημήνατο γραμματικὸς Ἀρίσταρχος περιγράφων τὸν στίχον, ὃς περὶ κρεωφαγίας αὐχεῖν ποιεῖ τοὺς Ἕλληνας. οὐ γὰρ ἀπὸ πάσης εὐθυμίας καὶ πληρώσεως τὸ καυχᾶσθαι καὶ σκώπτειν καὶ γελοιάζειν, ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς ἀλλοιούσης τὴν γνώμην καὶ πρὸς τὸ ψευδὲς τρεπούσης, γίνεται κατὰ τὴν μέθην.

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.
