Paragraph
1

ἀλλʼ ἐπεὶ πολὺς οὕτως λόγος συμποσίων πέρι διήντληται, Τιμόκρατες, ἐν τοῖς πρὸ τούτων, παρελίπομεν δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ χρησιμώτατα καὶ οὐ βαροῦντα τὴν ψυχήν, ὠφελοῦντα δὲ καὶ τρέφοντα κατὰ πανδαισίαν, ἅπερ θεῖος Ὅμηρος παρεισήγαγε, μνημονεύσω καὶ τὰ περὶ τούτων λεχθέντα ὑπὸ τοῦ πάντα ἀρίστου Μασουρίου. ἡμεῖς γὰρ κατὰ τὸν καλὸν Ἀγάθωνα τὸ μὲν πάρεργον ἔργον ὣς ποιούμεθα, τὸ δʼ ἔργον ὡς πάρεργον ἐκπονούμεθα. φησὶ δʼ οὖν ποιητὴς περὶ τοῦ Μενελάου τὸν λόγον ποιούμενος· τὸν δʼ εὗρον δαινύντα γάμον πολλοῖσιν ἔτῃσιν υἱέος ἠδὲ θυγατρὸς ἀμύμονος ἐνὶ οἴκῳ, ὡς νενόμισται ἄγειν συμπόσια περὶ τοὺς γάμους τῶν τε γαμηλίων θεῶν ἕνεκα καὶ τῆς οἱονεὶ μαρτυρίας. τὸ δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ξένους συμπόσιον τῆς Λυκίας βασιλεὺς διδάσκει οἷον εἶναι δεῖ, τὸν Βελλεροφόντην μεγαλοπρεπῶς δεξάμενος· ἐννῆμαρ ξείνισσε καὶ ἐννέα βοῦς ἱέρευσε.

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.
