ΑΤΤΑΓΑΣ. Ἀριστοφάνης Πελαργοῖς· ἀτταγᾶς ἥδιστον ἕψειν ἐν ἐπινικίοις κρέας. Ἀλέξανδρος δʼ Μύνδιός φησιν ὅτι μικρῷ μὲν μείζων ἐστὶ πέρδικος, ὅλος δὲ κατάγραφος τὰ περὶ τὸν νῶτον, κεραμεοῦς τὴν χρόαν, ὑποπυρρίζων μᾶλλον. θηρεύεται δʼ ὑπὸ κυνηγῶν διὰ τὸ βάρος καὶ τὴν τῶν πτερῶν βραχύτητα. ἐστὶ δὲ κονιστικὸς πολύτεκνός τε καὶ σπερμολόγος. Σωκράτης δʼ ἐν τῷ περὶ ὅρων καὶ τόπων καὶ πυρὸς καὶ λίθων ἐκ τῆς Λυδίας μετακομισθέντες, φησίν, εἰς Αἴγυπτον οἱ ἀτταγαῖ καὶ ἀφεθέντες εἰς τὰς ὕλας ἕως μέν τινος ὄρτυγος φωνὴν ἀφίεσαν, ἐπεὶ δὲ τοῦ ποταμοῦ κοίλου ῥυέντος λιμὸς ἐγένετο καὶ πολλοὶ τῶν κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἀπώλλυντο, οὐ διέλιπον σαφέστερον τῶν παίδων τῶν τρανοτάτων ἕως νῦν λέγοντες τρὶς τοῖς κακούργοις κακά. συλληφθέντες δὲ οὐ μόνον οὐ τιθασεύονται, ἀλλʼ οὐδὲ φωνὴν ἔτι ἀφιᾶσιν. ἐὰν δὲ ἀφεθῶσι, φωνήεντες πάλιν γίγνονται. μνημονεύει αὐτῶν Ἱππῶναξ οὕτως οὐδʼ ἀτταγᾶς τε καὶ λαγὼς διατρώγων. καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Ὄρνισιν· ἐν δʼ Ἀχαρνεῦσιν καὶ ὡς πλεοναζόντων αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ Μεγαρικῇ. περισπῶσι δʼ οἱ Ἀττικοὶ παρὰ τὸν ὀρθὸν λόγον τοὔνομα. τὰ γὰρ εἰς ας λήγοντα ἐκτεταμένον ὑπὲρ δύο συλλαβὰς ὅτε ἔχει τὸ ἄλφα παραλῆγον, βαρύτονά ἐστιν, οἷον ἀκάμας, Σακάδας, ἀδάμας. λεκτέον δὲ καὶ ἀτταγαῖ καὶ οὐχὶ ἀτταγῆνες.

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.
