Roman lamp question

[Epictetus]

I was glancing through Carcopino’s old Daily Life in Ancient Rome last night and saw where he claimed that the Romans used matches to start fires. I was rather surprised about this so checked his source and found this:

XLI. TO CAECILIUS.
You imagine yourself Caecilius, a man of wit. You are no such thing, believe me. What then? A low buffoon; such a thing as wanders about in the quarters beyond the Tiber, and barters pale-coloured sulphur matches for broken glass; such a one as sells boiled peas and beans to the idle crowd; such as a lord and keeper of snakes; or as a common servant of the salt-meat-sellers; or a hoarse-voiced cook who carries round smoking sausages in steaming shops; or the worst of street poets; or a blackguard slave-dealer from Gades; or a chattering old debauchee...

Vrbanus tibi, Caecili, uideris:
non es, crede mihi. Quid ergo? uerna,
hoc quod Transtiberinus ambulator
qui pallentia sulphurata fractis
permutat uitreis, quod otiosae
uendit qui madidum cicer coronae,
quod custos dominusque uiperarum,
quod uiles pueri salariorum,
quod fumantia qui tomacla raucus
circumfert tepidis cocus popinis,
quod non optimus urbicus poeta,
quod de Gadibus improbus magister,
quod bucca est uetuli dicax cinaedi...

Martial, Epigrams

Does this look right? Did they have matches?
