Paragraph
95

εἰ οὖν κἀγώ τι ἥμαρτον, καλλίστων ὀνομάτων καὶ ῥημάτων θηρευτά, μὴ χαλέπαινε. κατὰ γὰρ τὸν Μιλήσιον Τιμόθεον τὸν ποιητὴν οὐκ ἀείδω τὰ παλαιά· τὰ γὰρ ἀμὰ κρείσσω. νέος Ζεὺς βασιλεύει· τὸ πάλαι δʼ ἦν Κρόνος ἄρχων. ἀπίτω μοῦσα παλαιά. Ἀντιφάνης τʼ ἐν Ἀλκήστιδι ἔφη· ἐπὶ τὸ καινουργεῖν φέρου, οὕτως, ἐκείνως, τοῦτο γινώσκων ὅτι ἓν καινὸν ἐγχείρημα, κἂν τολμηρὸν ᾖ, πολλῶν παλαιῶν ἐστι χρησιμώτερον. ὅτι δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχαῖοι οἴδασι τὸ οὕτω λεγόμενον ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ πάλιν ἀγανακτήσῃς δηκόκταν μου λέγοντος, δείξω. κατὰ γὰρ Φερεκράτους Ψευδηρακλέα εἴποι τις ἂν τῶν πάνυ δοκησιδεξίων ... ἐγὼ δʼ ἂν ἀντείποιμι μὴ πολυπραγμόνει, ἀλλʼ εἰ δοκεῖ σοι, πρόσεχε τὸν νοῦν κἀκροῶ. ἀλλὰ μὴ φθονήσῃς, ἔφη Οὐλπιανός, δέομαι, μηδὲ τοῦ Ταυρείου ὕδατος ὁποῖόν ἐστι δηλῶσαι· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων φωνῶν ἐγὼ διψῶ. καὶ Κύνουλκος ἀλλὰ προπίνω σοι, ἔφη, φιλοτησίαν (διψᾷς γὰρ λόγων) παρʼ Ἀλέξιδος λαβὼν ἐκ Πυθαγοριζούσης· ὕδατος ἀπέφθου κύαθον· ἂν δʼ ὠμὸν πίῃ, βαρὺ καὶ κοπῶδες. τὸ δὲ Ταύρειον ὕδωρ ὠνόμασεν, φίλε, Σοφοκλῆς Αἰγεῖ ἀπὸ τοῦ περὶ Τροιζῆνα ποταμοῦ Ταύρου, παρʼ καὶ κρήνη τις Ὑόεσσα καλεῖται.

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.
