Paragraph
102

λέγουσι δὲ καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀπορήσῃ τροφῆς ὅτι αὑτὸν κατεσθίει. ὧν εἷς ἐστι καὶ κωμῳδιοποιὸς Φερεκράτης. οὗτος γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιγραφομένοις Ἀγρίοις φησίν· ἐνθρύσκοισι καὶ βρακάνοις καὶ στραβήλοις ζῆν· ὁπόταν δʼ ἤδη πεινῶσιν σφόδρα ... ὡσπερεὶ τοὺς πουλύποδας .... νύκτωρ περιτρώγειν αὑτῶν τοὺς δακτύλους; καὶ Δίφιλος ἐν Ἐμπόρῳ· πουλύπους ἔχων ἁπάσας ὁλομελεῖς τὰς πλεκτάνας. Β. οὐ περιβεβρωκὼς αὑτόν ἐστι, φίλτατε. τοῦτο δʼ ἐστὶ ψεῦδος. ὑπὸ γὰρ τῶν γόγγρων διωκόμενος τοὺς πόδας ἀδικεῖται. λέγεται δʼ ὡς, ἄν τις ταῖς θαλάμαις αὐτοῦ ἅλας ὑποσπείρῃ, εὐθέως ἐξέρχεται. ἱστορεῖται δὲ καὶ ὅτι φεύγων διὰ τὸν φόβον μεταβάλλει τὰς χρόας καὶ ἐξομοιοῦται τοῖς τόποις ἐν οἷς κρύπτεται, ὡς καὶ Μεγαρεὺς Θέογνίς φησιν ἐν ταῖς ἐλεγείαις· πουλύπου ὀργὴν ἴσχε πολυπλόκου, ὃς ποτὶ πέτρῃ τῇ προσομιλήσῃ, τοῖος ἰδεῖν ἐφάνη. ὁμοίως ἱστορεῖ καὶ Κλέαρχος ἐν δευτέρῳ περὶ παροιμιῶν παρατιθέμενος τάδε τὰ ἔπη, οὐ δηλῶν ὅτου ἐστί· πουλύποδός μοι, τέκνον, ἔχων νόον, Ἀμφίλοχʼ ἥρως, τοῖσιν ἐφαρμόζου τῶν κεν κατὰ δῆμον ἵκηαι.

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.
