Paragraph
4

ἐπεισῆλθον οὖν ἡμῖν παῖδες πλῆθος ὅσον ἰχθύων φέροντες θαλασσίων λιμναίων τε ἐπὶ πινάκων ἀργυρῶν, ὡς θαυμάσαι μετὰ τοῦ πλούτου καὶ τὴν πολυτέλειαν· μονονουχὶ γὰρ καὶ τὰς Νηρηίδας ὠψωνήκει. καί τις τῶν παρασίτων καὶ κολάκων ἔφη τὸν Ποσειδῶ πέμπειν τῷ Νιττουνίῳ ἡμῶν τοὺς ἰχθῦς οὐ διὰ τῶν ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ ἴσον ἴσῳ τῶν τὸν ἰχθὺν πωλούντων, ἀλλὰ τοὺς μὲν ἐξ Ἀντίου κεκομίσθαι, ἑτέρους δʼ ἐκ Ταρακινῶν καὶ τῶν καταντικρὺ νήσων Ποντίων, ἄλλους δʼ ἐκ Πύργων· πόλις δʼ αὕτη Τυρρηνική. οἱ γὰρ ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ ἰχθυοπῶλαι οὐδʼ ὀλίγον ἀποδέουσι τῶν κατὰ τὴν Ἀττικήν ποτε κωμῳδηθέντων· περὶ ὧν Ἀντιφάνης μὲν ἐν Νεανίσκοις φησίν· ἐγὼ τέως μὲν ᾠόμην τὰς Γοργόνας εἶναί τι λογοποίημα· πρὸς ἀγορὰν δʼ ὅταν ἔλθω, πεπίστευκʼ· ἐμβλέπων γὰρ αὐτόθι τοῖς ἰχθυοπώλαις λίθινος εὐθὺς γίνομαι· ὥστʼ ἐξ ἀνάγκης ἔστʼ ἀποστραφέντι μοι λαλεῖν πρὸς αὐτούς. ἂν ἴδω γὰρ ἡλίκον ἰχθὺν ὅσου τιμῶσι, πήγνυμαι σαφῶς.

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.
