Book 4
οὐκ ἦν γὰρ τοιοῦτος ὁ Καπανεὺς οἷον ὁ καλὸς Χρύσιππος διαγράφει ἐν τῷ περὶ τῶν μὴ διʼ αὑτὰ αἱρετῶν λέγων ὧδε· ἐπὶ τοσοῦτόν τινες ἐκπίπτουσι πρὸς τὸ φιλάργυρον ὥστε ἱστορῆσθαι πρὸς τῇ τελευτῇ τινα μὲν καταπιόντα οὐκ ὀλίγους χρυσοῦς ἀποθανεῖν, τὸν δὲ ἕτερον ῥαψάμενον εἴς τινα χιτῶνα καὶ ἐνδύντα αὐτὸν ἐπισκῆψαι τοῖς οἰκείοις θάψαι οὕτως μήτε καύσαντας μήτε θεραπεύσαντας. οὗτοι γὰρ καὶ οἱ τοιοῦτοι μονονουχὶ βοῶντες ἀποθνῄσκουσιν· ὦ χρυσέ, δεξίωμα κάλλιστον βροτοῖς, ὡς οὔτε μήτηρ ἡδονὰς τοιάσδʼ ἔχει, οὐ παῖδες ἐν δόμοισιν, οὐ φίλος πατήρ, οἵας σὺ χοἰ σὲ δώμασιν κεκτημένοι. εἰ δʼ ἡ Κύπρις τοιοῦτον ὀφθαλμοῖς ὁρᾷ, οὐ θαῦμʼ Ἔρωτας μυρίους αὐτὴν ἔχειν. τοιαύτη τις ἦν ἡ φιλοχρηματία παρὰ τοῖς τότε· περὶ ἧς Ἀνάχαρσις πυνθανομένου τινὸς πρὸς τί οἱ Ἕλληνες χρῶνται τῷ ἀργυρίῳ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸ ἀριθμεῖν. Διογένης δʼ ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ Πολιτείᾳ νόμισμα εἶναι νομοθετεῖ ἀστραγάλους. καλῶς γὰρ καὶ ταῦτα ὁ Εὐριπίδης εἴρηκε· μὴ πλοῦτον εἴπῃς· οὐχὶ θαυμάζω θεόν, ὃν χὡ κάκιστος ῥᾳδίως ἐκτήσατο. Χρύσιππος δʼ ἐν τῇ Εἰσαγωγῇ τῇ εἰς τὴν περὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ κακῶν πραγματείαν νεανίσκον φησί τινα ἐκ τῆς Ἰωνίας σφόδρα πλούσιον ἐπιδημῆσαι ταῖς Ἀθήναις πορφυρίδα ἠμφιεσμένον ἔχουσαν χρυσᾶ κράσπεδα. πυνθανομένου δέ τινος αὐτοῦ ποδαπός ἐστιν ἀποκρίνασθαι ὅτι πλούσιος. μήποτε τοῦ αὐτοῦ μνημονεύει καὶ Ἄλεξις ἐν Θηβαίοις λέγων ὧδε· ἐστὶν δὲ ποδαπὸς τὸ γένος οὗτος; Β. πλούσιος· τούτους δὲ πάντες φασὶν εὐγενεστάτους, πένητα δʼ εὐπάτριδʼ οὐδὲ εἷς ὁρᾷ.

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]
