Book 3
Ἀρχέστρατος δʼ ἐν τῇ Γαστρονομίᾳ περὶ ἀλφίτων καὶ ἄρτων οὕτως ἐκτίθεται· πρῶτα μὲν οὖν δώρων μεμνήσομαι ἠυκόμοιο Δήμητρος, φίλε Μόσχε· σὺ δʼ ἐν φρεσὶ βάλλεο σῇσιν. ἔστι γὰρ οὖν τὰ κράτιστα λαβεῖν βέλτιστά τε πάντων, εὐκάρπου κριθῆς καθαρῶς ἠσσημένα πάντα, ἐν Λέσβῳ κλεινῆς Ἐρέσου περικύμονι μαστῷ, λευκότερʼ αἰθερίας χιόνος. θεοὶ εἴπερ ἔδουσιν ἄλφιτʼ, ἐκεῖθεν ἰὼν Ἑρμῆς αὐτοῖς ἀγοράζει. ἐστὶ δὲ κἀν Θήβαις ταῖς ἑπταπύλοις ἐπιεικῆ κἀν Θάσῳ ἔν τʼ ἄλλαις πόλεσίν τισιν, ἀλλὰ γίγαρτα φαίνονται πρὸς ἐκεῖνα· σαφεῖ τάδʼ ἐπίστασο δόξῃ. στρογγυλοδίνητος δὲ τετριμμένος εὖ κατὰ χεῖρα κόλλιξ Θεσσαλικός σοι ὑπαρχέτω, ὃν καλέουσι κεῖνοι κριμνίταν, οἱ δʼ ἄλλοι χόνδρινον ἄρτον. εἶτα τὸν ἐκ Τεγέας σεμιδάλεος υἱὸν ἐπαινῶ ἐγκρυφίαν. τὸν δʼ εἰς ἀγορὰν ποιεύμενον ἄρτον αἱ κλειναὶ παρέχουσι βροτοῖς κάλλιστον Ἀθῆναι. ἐν δὲ φερεσταφύλοις Ἐρυθραῖς ἐκ κλιβάνου ἐλθὼν λευκὸς ἁβραῖς θάλλων ὥραις τέρψει παρὰ δεῖπνον. ταῦτʼ εἰπὼν ὁ τένθης Ἀρχέστρατος καὶ τὸν τῶν ἄρτων ποιητὴν ἔχειν συμβουλεύει Φοίνικα ἢ Λυδόν· ἠγνόει γὰρ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς Καππαδοκίας ἀρτοποιοὺς ἀρίστους ὄντας. λέγει δʼ οὕτως· ἔστω δή σοι ἀνὴρ Φοῖνιξ ἢ Λυδὸς ἐν οἴκῳ, ὅστις ἐπιστήμων ἔσται σίτοιο κατʼ ἦμαρ παντοίας ἰδέας τεύχειν, ὡς ἂν σὺ κελεύῃς.

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:
- list icon : automatic alignment of index entries with the Greek text of the Deipnosophists (indices by August Meineke, Georg Kaibel, and S. Douglas Olson);
- tag icon : POS tagging of the text through the OpenNLP POSTagger for Ancient Greek.
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.
For example:
- Ath. Deipn. 1.1: Ἀθήναιος μὲν ὁ τῆς βίβλου πατήρ
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0008.tlg001.perseus-grc2:1.1@Ἀθήναιος[1]-πατήρ[1]
