Paragraph
19

Δίφιλος δʼ Σίφνιός φησι τῶν σύκων εἶναι τὰ μὲν ἁπαλὰ ὀλιγότροφα καὶ κακόχυλα, εὐέκκριτα δὲ καὶ ἐπιπολαστικὰ εὐοικονομητότερά τε τῶν ξηρῶν. τὰ δὲ πρὸς τῷ χειμῶνι γινόμενα βίᾳ πεπαινόμενα χείρονα τυγχάνει· τὰ δʼ ἐν τῇ ἀκμῇ τῶν ὡρῶν κρείττονα ὡς ἂν κατὰ φύσιν πεπαινόμενα. τὰ δὲ πολὺν ὀπὸν ἔχοντα, καὶ τὰ σπάνυδρα δʼ εὐστομώτερα μέν, βαρύτερα δέ. τὰ δὲ Τραλλιανὰ ἀναλογεῖ τοῖς Ῥοδίοις, τὰ δὲ Χῖα καὶ τἄλλα πάντα τούτων εἶναι κακοχυλότερα. Μνησίθεος δʼ Ἀθηναῖος ἐν τῷ περὶ ἐδεστῶν φησιν· ὅσα δὲ ὠμὰ προσφέρεται τῶν τοιούτων, οἷον ἄπιοι καὶ σῦκα καὶ μῆλα Δελφικὰ καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα, δεῖ παραφυλάττειν τὸν καιρὸν ἐν τοὺς χυλοὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς μήτε ἀπέπτους μήτε σαπροὺς μήτε κατεξηραμμένους λίαν ὑπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἕξει. Δημήτριος δʼ Σκήψιος ἐν τῷ ιεʹ τοῦ Τρωικοῦ διακόσμου εὐφώνους φησὶ γίνεσθαι τοὺς μὴ σύκων ἐσθίοντας. Ἡγησιάνακτα γοῦν τὸν Ἀλεξανδρέα τὸν τὰς ἱστορίας γράψαντα κατʼ ἀρχὰς ὄντα πένητα καὶ τραγῳδόν φησι γενέσθαι καὶ ὑποκριτικὸν καὶ εὔηχον, ὀκτωκαίδεκα ἔτη σύκων μὴ γευσάμενον. καὶ παροιμίας δὲ οἶδα περὶ σύκων λεγομένας τοιάσδε· σῦκον μετʼ ἰχθύν, ὄσπρεον μετὰ κρέα. σῦκα φίλʼ ὀρνίθεσσι, φυτεύειν δʼ οὐκ ἐθέλουσι.

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.
