καὶ Κύνουλκος ἀλλʼ ὡς ὤφελον, ἔφη, τὴν Θρᾴκιον ταύτην παίξας παιδιὰν διεφθάρης· ἀνέτεινες γὰρ ἡμᾶς ὥσπερ νηστείαν ἄγοντας καὶ περιμένοντας τὸ ἀνατέλλον ἄστρον, οὗ φασι μὴ φανέντος οἱ τὴν χρηστὴν ταύτην φιλοσοφίαν εὑρόντες νόμιμον εἶναι μηδενὸς γεύεσθαι. ἐγὼ δʼ τάλας κατὰ τὸν κωμῳδιοποιὸν Δίφιλον· κεστρεὺς ἂν εἴην ἕνεκα νηστείας ἄκρας. ἐπελάθεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς τῶν τοῦ ποιητοῦ καλῶν, ὃς ἔφη· οὐ μὲν γάρ τι χέρειον ἐν ὥρῃ δεῖπνον ἑλέσθαι. καὶ καλὸς δʼ Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Κωκάλῳ ἔφη· ἀλλʼ ἐστίν, πάτερ, κομιδῇ μεσημβρία, ἡνίκα γε τοὺς νεωτέρους δειπνεῖν χρεών. ἐμοί τε πολλῷ ἦν ἄμεινον κατὰ τὸ Παρμενίσκου τῶν κυνικῶν συμπόσιον δειπνεῖν ἐνθάδε πάντα ὥσπερ τοὺς πυρέσσοντας περιφερόμενα ὁρᾶν. γελασάντων δὲ ἡμῶν ἔφη τις· ἀλλʼ λῷστε ἀνδρῶν, μὴ φθονήσῃς ἡμῖν τὸ Παρμενίσκειον ἐκεῖνο διελθεῖν συμπόσιον. καὶ ὃς μετέωρον αὑτὸν παραναστήσας ἔφη· ὄμνυμι δʼ ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες, κατὰ τὸν ἡδὺν Ἀντιφάνη, ὃς ἐν τῇ Παρεκδιδομένῃ ἔφη· ὄμνυμι δʼ ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες, αὐτὸν τὸν θεόν, ἐξ οὗ τὸ μεθύειν πᾶσιν ἡμῖν γίνεται, μὴν ἑλέσθαι τοῦτον ἂν ζῆν τὸν βίον τὴν Σελεύκου τοῦ βασιλέως ὑπεροχήν. ῥοφεῖν φακῆν ἐσθʼ ἡδὺ μὴ δεδοικότα, μαλακῶς καθεύδειν ἄθλιον δεδοικότα.

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.
