Paragraph

τοσαῦτα τοῦ Πλουτάρχου εἰπόντος περὶ παρασίτων διαδεξάμενος τὸν λόγον Δημόκριτος ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ αὐτός, ἔφη, τὸ ποτίκολλον ἅτε ξύλον παρὰ ξύλῳ, ὡς Θηβαῖος εἴρηκεν ποιητής, περὶ κολάκων ἐρῶ τι. πράττει γὰρ πάντων κόλαξ ἄριστα, καλὸς εἶπεν Μένανδρος, οὐ μακρὰν δʼ ἐστὶν κόλαξ τοῦ τῶν παρασίτων ὀνόματος. Κλείσοφον γοῦν τὸν ὑπὸ πάντων κόλακα Φιλίππου τοῦ τῶν Μακεδόνων βασιλέως ἀναγραφόμενον (Ἀθηναῖος δʼ ἦν γένος, ὥς φησι Σάτυρος περιπατητικὸς ἐν τῷ Φιλίππου βίῳ ) Λυγκεὺς Σάμιος ἐν τοῖς Ἀπομνημονεύμασι παράσιτον ὀνομάζει λέγων οὕτως· Κλείσοφος Φιλίππου παράσιτος ἐπιτιμῶντος αὐτῷ τοῦ Φιλίππου διότι ἀεὶ αἰτεῖ, ἵνʼ, ἔφη, μὴ ἐπιλανθάνωμαι. τοῦ δὲ Φιλίππου δόντος αὐτῷ ἵππον τραυματίαν ἀπέδοτο. καὶ μετὰ χρόνον ἐπερωτηθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ποῦ ἐστιν, ἐκ τοῦ τραύματος, ἔφη, ʼκείνου πέπραται. σκώπτοντος δʼ αὐτὸν τοῦ Φιλίππου καὶ εὐημεροῦντος εἶτʼ οὐκ ἐγὼ σέ, ἔφη, θρέψω; καὶ Δελφὸς δὲ Ἡγήσανδρος ἐν τοῖς ὑπομνήμασι περὶ τοῦ Κλεισόφου τάδε ἱστορεῖ· Φιλίππου τοῦ βασιλέως εἰπόντος διότι γράμματα αὐτῷ ἐκομίσθη παρὰ Κότυος τοῦ Θρᾳκῶν βασιλέως Κλείσοφος παρὼν ἔφη εὖ γε νὴ τοὺς θεούς. τοῦ δὲ Φιλίππου εἰπόντος τί δὲ σὺ οἶδας ὑπὲρ ὧν γέγραπται; νὴ τὸν Δία τὸν μέγιστον, εἶπεν, ἄκρως γέ μοι ἐπετίμησας.

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.
