Paragraph
28

πάντων οὖν ἡμῶν ἐπαινεσάντων τὸν μάγειρον ἐπί τε τῷ ἑτοίμῳ τῶν λεγομένων καὶ τῇ τῆς τέχνης περιεργίᾳ καλὸς ἡμῶν ἑστιάτωρ Λαρήνσιος καὶ πόσῳ κάλλιον, ἔφη, τὰ τοιαῦτα ἐκμανθάνειν τοὺς μαγείρους ἅπερ παρά τινι τῶν πολιτῶν ἡμῶν, ὃς ὑπὸ πλούτου καὶ τρυφῆς τοὺς τοῦ θαυμασιωτάτου Πλάτωνος διαλόγους ἠνάγκαζεν ἐκμανθάνοντας τοὺς μαγείρους φέροντάς τε τὰς λοπάδας ἅμα λέγειν εἷς, δύο, τρεῖς· δὲ δὴ τέταρτος ἡμῖν, φίλε Τίμαιε, ποῦ τῶν χθὲς μὲν δαιτυμόνων, τὰ νῦν δʼ ἑστιατόρων; ἔπειτʼ ἄλλος ἀπεκρίνατο ἀσθένειά τις αὐτῷ ξυνέπεσεν, Σώκρατες. διεξήρχοντό τε τοῦ διαλόγου τὰ πολλὰ τὸν τρόπον τοῦτον, ὡς ἄχθεσθαι μὲν τοὺς εὐωχουμένους, ὑβρίζεσθαι δὲ τὸν πάνσοφον ἐκεῖνον ἄνθρωπον ὁσημέραι, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πολλοὺς τῶν καθαρείων ἐξόμνυσθαι τὰς παρʼ ἐκείνῳ ἑστιάσεις. οἱ δὲ ἡμέτεροι οὗτοι ἅμα ἴσως ταῦτʼ ἐκμανθάνοντες οὐκ ὀλίγην ὑμῖν θυμηδίαν παρέχουσιν. καὶ παῖς ἐπὶ τῇ μαγειρικῇ σοφίᾳ ἐπαινεθεὶς τί τοιοῦτον εὑρήκασιν, ἔφη, εἰρήκασιν οἱ πρὸ ἐμοῦ; ἐπιμετρίους ἐμαυτὸν ἄγω οὐ μεγαλαυχούμενος ἐπʼ ἐμαυτῷ; καίτοι καὶ πρῶτος τῶν τὸν Ὀλυμπίασιν ἀγῶνα ἀναδησαμένων Κόροιβος Ἠλεῖος μάγειρος ἦν καὶ οὐχ οὕτως ὠγκύλλετο ἐπὶ τῇ τέχνῃ ὡς παρὰ Στράτωνι μάγειρος ἐν τῷ Φοινικίδῃ, περὶ οὗ τοιαῦτα λέγει μεμισθωμένος·

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.
