Paragraph
58

Ἐπικράτης δʼ Ἀθηναῖος πρὸς βασιλέα πρεσβεύσας, ὥς φησιν Ἡγήσανδρος, καὶ πολλὰ δῶρα παρʼ ἐκείνου λαβὼν οὐκ ᾐσχύνετο κολακεύων οὕτως φανερῶς καὶ τολμηρῶς τὸν βασιλέα ὡς καὶ εἰπεῖν, δεῖν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν οὐκ ἐννέα ἄρχοντας, ἀλλʼ ἐννέα πρέσβεις αἱρεῖσθαι πρὸς βασιλέα. θαυμάζω δὲ ἔγωγε τῶν Ἀθηναίων πῶς τοῦτον μὲν ἄκριτον εἴασαν, Δημάδην δὲ δέκα ταλάντοις ἐζημίωσαν, ὅτι θεὸν εἰσηγήσατο Ἀλέξανδρον, καὶ Τιμαγόραν δʼ ἀπέκτειναν, ὅτι πρεσβεύων ὡς βασιλέα προσεκύνησεν αὐτόν. Τίμων Φλιάσιος ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ τῶν σίλλων Ἀρίστωνά φησι τὸν Χῖον, Ζήνωνος δὲ τοῦ Κιτιέως γνώριμον, κόλακα γενέσθαι Περσαίου τοῦ φιλοσόφου, ὅτι ἦν ἑταῖρος Ἀντιγόνου τοῦ βασιλέως. Φύλαρχος δὲ ἐν ϛʹ ἱστοριῶν Νικησίαν φησὶ τὸν Ἀλεξάνδρου κόλακα θεασάμενον τὸν βασιλέα σπαρασσόμενον ὑφʼ οὗ εἰλήφει φαρμάκου εἰπεῖν βασιλεῦ, τί δεῖ ποιεῖν ἡμᾶς, ὅτε καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ θεοὶ τοιαῦτα πάσχετε; καὶ τὸν Ἀλέξανδρον μόλις ἀναβλέψαντα, ποῖοι θεοί; φῆσαι, φοβοῦμαι μή τι θεοῖσιν ἐχθροί. ἐν δὲ τῇ ὀγδόῃ καὶ εἰκοστῇ αὐτὸς Φύλαρχος Ἀντιγόνου τοῦ κληθέντος Ἐπιτρόπου τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους ἑλόντος κόλακα γενέσθαι Ἀπολλοφάνη τὸν εἰπόντα τὴν Ἀντιγόνου τύχην ἀλεξανδρίζειν.

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.
