Notes:
[1] The headword is the comparative of the adjective stegano/s (sigma 1020, sigma 1021), here in the neuter nominative/accusative singular or masculine accusative singular. Similarly glossed in other lexica, it must be quoted from somewhere -- possibly (though not necessarily) the quotation about to be given, where it has the transferred sense (cf. LSJ s.v., II.4) more/rather reserved. The second and third quotations contain the superlative of this adjective.
[2] Greek Anthology 5.216.3 (Agathias Scholasticus), the poet's advice for men in love.
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable; cf. alphaiota 106, delta 791, kappa 2036.
[4] Aelian fr. 178 Domingo-Forasté (175 Hercher); cf. alpha 4389.
