Paragraph
53

Ἐπικούρειος δέ τις εἰκαδιστὴς τῶν συνδειπνούντων ἡμῖν ἐγχέλυος παρατεθείσης πάρεστιν, ἔφη, τῶν δείπνων Ἑλένη· ἐγὼ οὖν Πάρις ἔσομαι. καὶ χεῖρας μήπω τινὸς ἐκτετακότος ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐπιβαλὼν ἐψίλωσε τὸ πλευρὸν ἀνάγων εἰς ἄκανθαν. δʼ αὐτὸς οὗτος πλακοῦντός ποτε θερμοῦ παρατεθέντος καὶ πάντων ἀπεχομένων ἐπιφωνήσας· τοῦ δʼ ἐγὼ ἀντίος εἶμι, καὶ εἰ πυρὶ χεῖρας ἔοικε, προπετῶς ἐπιβαλὼν καὶ καταπιὼν φλεγόμενος ἐξεφέρετο. καὶ Κύνουλκος ἔφη· ἀποφέρεται ἐκ τῆς βρογχοπαρατάξεως λάρος. καὶ περὶ τῆς ἐγχέλυος δʼ Ἀρχέστρατος οὕτως ἱστορεῖ· ἔγχελυν αἰνῶ μὲν πᾶσαν, πολὺ δʼ ἐστὶ κρατίστη Ῥηγίου ἀντιπέρας πορθμοῦ ληφθεῖσα θαλάσσης· ἔνθα σὺ τῶν ἄλλων πάντων, Μεσσήνιε, θνητῶν βρῶμα τιθεὶς τοιόνδε διὰ στόματος πλεονεκτεῖς. οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ κλέος γʼ ἀρετῆς μέγα κάρτα φέρουσι Κωπαῖαι καὶ Στρυμόνιαι· μεγάλαι τε γάρ εἰσι καὶ τὸ πάχος θαυμασταί. ὁμῶς δʼ οἶμαι βασιλεύει πάντων τῶν περὶ δαῖτα καὶ ἡδονῇ ἡγεμονεύει ἔγχελυς, φύσει ἐστὶν ἀπύρηνος μόνος ἰχθύς ...

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.
