Translation
[Meaning something] having fire within itself. Aristophanes [writes]: "Give me a little basket lit-up with a lamp." -- "What need, wretched man, do you have for this weaving?" -- "No need, but I still want to get one." [sc. He speaks of "this weaving"] because the elderly, in view of the difficulty they had in walking, used to hide their lamp in a basket so as to shelter the fire.
