Paragraph
12

Ἄλεξις δʼ ἐν Ταραντίνοις ἐν τοῖς συμποσίοις φησὶ τοὺς Ἀττικοὺς καὶ ὀρχεῖσθαι ὑποπιόντας· τοῦτο γὰρ νῦν ἐστί σοι ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις ταῖς καλαῖς ἐπιχώριον· ἅπαντες ὀρχοῦντʼ εὐθύς, ἂν οἴνου μόνον ὀσμὴν ἴδωσι· συμφορὰν λέγεις ἄρʼ ἂν φαίης ἂν εἰς συμπόσιον εἰσελθὼν ἄφνω. καὶ τοῖς μὲν ἀγενείοις ἴσως ἔπεστί τις χάρις· ἀλλʼ ἐπὰν δὴ τὸν γόητα Θεόδοτον τὸν παραμασύντην ἴδω τὸν ἀνόσιον βαυκιζόμενον τὰ λευκά τʼ ἀναβάλλονθʼ ἅμα, ἥδιστʼ ἂν ἀναπήξαιμʼ ἂν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου λαβών. μήποτε δὲ καὶ Ἀντιφάνης ἐν Καρσὶ κατὰ τὸ Ἀττικὸν ἔθος τῆς ὀρχήσεως κωμῳδεῖ τινα τῶν σοφῶν ὡς παρὰ δεῖπνον ὀρχούμενον λέγων οὕτως· οὐχ ὁρᾷς ὀρχούμενον ταῖς χερσὶ τὸν βάκηλον; οὐδʼ αἰσχύνεται τὸν Ἡράκλειτον πᾶσιν ἐξηγούμενος, τὴν Θεοδέκτου μόνος ἀνευρηκὼς τέχνην, τὰ κεφάλαια συγγράφων Εὐριπίδῃ. τούτοις οὐδʼ ἀναρμόστως ἄν τις ἐπενέγκαι τὰ Ἐρίφῳ τῷ κωμικῷ ἐν Αἰόλῳ εἰρημένα τάδε· λόγος γάρ ἐστʼ ἀρχαῖος οὐ κακῶς ἔχων· οἶνον λέγουσι τοὺς γέροντας, πάτερ, πείθειν χορεύειν οὐ θέλοντας. Ἄλεξις δʼ ἐν τῷ ἐπιγραφομένῳ Ἰσοστάσιόν φησιν· ἀπὸ συμβολῶν ἔπινον ὀρχεῖσθαι μόνον βλέποντες, ἄλλο δʼ οὐδέν, ὄψων ὀνόματα καὶ σιτίων ἔχοντες, Ὄψων, Κάραβος καὶ Κωβιός, Σεμίδαλις.

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.
