Sed quia lippis erat in adolescentia oculis, quibus fumi acerbitas non congruebat, amotus a pistillo promovetur ad Cophinum. Sed dum inter fermentatas massas se delectari consimulat, servitium fugam iniens dereliquit.

CO´PHINUS(κόφινος, Engl. coffin, coffer), a large kind of wicker basket, made of osier branches. (Moer. Att. and Hesych. s. v. Ἄρριχος.) From Aristophanes (Av. 1310) it would seem that it was used by the Greeks as a basket or cage for birds. The Romans used it for agricultural purposes, and Columella (Colum. 11.3.51), in describing a method of procuring early cucumbers, says that they should be sown in well-manured soil, kept in a cophinus, so that in this case we have to consider it as a kind of portable hot-bed. Juvenal (Sat. 3.14, and 6.542), when speaking of the Jews, describes their whole furniture as consisting in cophinus et faenum (a truss of hay). Κόφινος is a more general term, while σπυρίς (sporta) is more properly a basket for food. Cf. Meyer on St. Matt. 16.10. [CORBIS]
[L.S] [A.S.W](κόφινος). A large wicker basket, made of willow branches. From Aristophanes ( Av. 1310) it would seem that it was used by the Greeks as a basket or cage for birds. The Romans used it for agricultural purposes; and Columella, in describing a method of procuring early cucumbers, says that they should be sown in well-manured soil, kept in a cophinus, so that in this case we have to consider it as a kind of portable hot-bed. Juvenal (iii. 14), when speaking of the Jews, uses the expression cophinus et foenum (a truss of hay), figuratively to designate their high degree of poverty. See corbis.
