Paragraph
55

Φίλιππον δέ φησι Θεόπομπος ἐν τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ τεσσαρακοστῇ τῶν ἱστοριῶν Θρασυδαῖον τὸν Θεσσαλὸν καταστῆσαι τῶν ὁμοεθνῶν τύραννον, μικρὸν μὲν ὄντα τὴν γνώμην, κόλακα δὲ μέγιστον. ἀλλʼ οὐκ Ἀρκαδίων Ἀχαιὸς κόλαξ ἦν· περὶ οὗ αὐτὸς ἱστορεῖ Θεόπομπος καὶ Δοῦρις ἐν πέμπτῃ Μακεδονικῶν· οὗτος δὲ Ἀρκαδίων μισῶν τὸν Φίλιππον ἑκούσιον ἐκ τῆς πατρίδος φυγὴν ἔφυγεν. ἦν δʼ εὐφυέστατος καὶ πλείους ἀποφάσεις αὐτοῦ μνημονεύονται. ἔτυχεν δʼ οὖν ποτε ἐν Δελφοῖς ἐπιδημοῦντος Φιλίππου παρεῖναι καὶ τὸν Ἀρκαδίωνα· ὃν θεασάμενος Μακεδὼν καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος μέχρι τίνος φεύξῃ, φησίν, Ἀρκαδίων; καὶ ὅς· ἔς τʼ ἂν τοὺς ἀφίκωμαι οἳ οὐκ ἴσασι Φίλιππον. Φύλαρχος δʼ ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ καὶ εἰκοστῇ τῶν ἱστοριῶν γελάσαντα τὸν Φίλιππον ἐπὶ τούτῳ καλέσαι τε ἐπὶ δεῖπνον τὸν Ἀρκαδίωνα καὶ οὕτω τὴν ἔχθραν διαλύσασθαι. περὶ δὲ Νικησίου τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου κόλακος Ἡγήσανδρος τάδʼ ἱστορεῖ· Ἀλεξάνδρου δάκνεσθαι φήσαντος ὑπὸ μυιῶν καὶ προθύμως αὐτὰς ἀποσοβοῦντος τῶν κολάκων τις Νικησίας παρὼν που τῶν ἄλλων μυιῶν, εἶπεν, αὗται πολὺ κρατήσουσι τοῦ σοῦ γευσάμεναι αἵματος. δʼ αὐτός φησι καὶ Χειρίσοφον τὸν Διονυσίου κόλακα ἰδόντα Διονύσιον γελῶντα μετά τινων γνωρίμων (ἀπεῖχεν δʼ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν πλείω τόπον, ὡς μὴ συνακούειν) συγγελᾶν. ἐπεὶ δʼ Διονύσιος ἠρώτησεν αὐτὸν διὰ τίνα αἰτίαν οὐ συνακούων τῶν λεγομένων γελᾷ, ὑμῖν, φησί, πιστεύω διότι τὸ ῥηθὲν γέλοιόν ἐστιν.

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.
