Paragraph
23

φαυλίων δὲ μήλων μνημονεύει Τηλεκλείδης ἐν Ἀμφικτύοσιν οὕτως· τὰ μὲν κομψοί, τὰ δὲ φαυλότεροι φαυλίων μήλων. καὶ Θεόπομπος ἐν Θησεῖ. Ἀνδροτίων δʼ ἐν τῷ Γεωργικῷ τὰς δὲ μηλέας, φησί, φαυλίας καὶ στρουθίας· οὐ γὰρ ἀπορρεῖ τὸ μῆλον ἀπὸ τοῦ μίσχου τῶν στρουθιῶν· τὰς δὲ ἠρινὰς Λακωνικὰς Σιδουντίας χνοωδίας. ἐγὼ δʼ, ἄνδρες φίλοι, πάντων μάλιστα τεθαύμακα τὰ κατὰ τὴν Ῥώμην πιπρασκόμενα μῆλα τὰ Ματιανὰ καλούμενα, ἅπερ κομίζεσθαι λέγεται ἀπό τινος κώμης ἱδρυμένης ἐπὶ τῶν πρὸς Ἀκυληίᾳ Ἄλπεων. τούτων δʼ οὐ πολὺ ἀπολείπεται τὰ ἐν Γάγγροις πόλει Παφλαγονικῇ. ὅτι δὲ καὶ τῶν μήλων εὑρετής ἐστι Διόνυσος μαρτυρεῖ Θεόκριτος Συρακόσιος οὑτωσί πως λέγων· μᾶλα μὲν ἐν κόλποισι Διωνύσοιο φυλάσσων, κρατὶ δʼ ἔχων λεύκαν, Ἡρακλέος ἱερὸν ἔρνος. Νεοπτόλεμος δʼ Παριανὸς ἐν τῇ Διονυσιάδι καὶ αὐτὸς ἱστορεῖ ὡς ὑπὸ Διονύσου εὑρεθέντων τῶν μήλων, καθάπερ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀκροδρύων. ἐπιμηλὶς δὲ καλεῖται, φησὶ Πάμφιλος, τῶν ἀπίων τι γένος. Ἑσπερίδων δὲ μῆλα οὕτως καλεῖσθαί τινά φησι Τιμαχίδας ἐν δʹ Δείπνων. καὶ ἐν Λακεδαίμονι δὲ παρατίθεσθαι τοῖς θεοῖς φησι Πάμφιλος ταῦτα· εὔοσμα δὲ εἶναι καὶ ἄβρωτα, καλεῖσθαι δʼ Ἑσπερίδων μῆλα. Ἀριστοκράτης γοῦν ἐν δʹ Λακωνικῶν· ἔτι δὲ μῆλα καὶ μηλέας τὰς λεγομένας ἑσπερίδας.

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.
