Translation
[Meaning] the binding on a wound. Aristophanes [writes]: "listen, don't run away. In Sybaris1 once a woman broke a jar.2 [...] So the jar had a witness and called him. Then the Sybarite woman said, 'By the Maiden,3 if you let this testimony go and quickly buy a bandage you will have better sense.'"
