Translation
['Close-woven' means] woven well. A kai/rwma is the plaited part in the warp beside the thread, which stops the warps from commingling.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Καιροσέων δ' ὀθονέων ἀπολείβεται ὑγρὸν ἔλαιον· εὖ κεκαιρωμένων. καίρωμα δέ ἐστι τὸ διαπλεκόμενον ἐν τῷ στήμονι παρὰ τὸν μίτον, ὑπὲρ τοῦ μὴ συγχεῖσθαι τοὺς στήμονας.
